About the Book
IntroTo articulate the full sweep of God's eternal purpose in Christ - uniting all things in Christ, creating one new humanity, and equipping the church to live out this calling in every sphere of life.
Every Spiritual Blessing in Christ
Ch. 1-3Paul celebrates the cosmic scope of God's redemptive purpose — chosen before creation, adopted as sons, sealed with the Spirit, saved by grace through faith, and reconciled into one new humanity.
Ephesians 1-3 contains the most expansive vision of the church in the New Testament — a cosmic project of reconciliation in which every spiritual blessing is already given and the mystery hidden since creation is now revealed.
Walking Worthy: Life in the New Humanity
Ch. 4-6Paul calls the church to a life worthy of its calling — unity, maturity, renewed minds, Spirit-filled relationships, and the full armour of God — as the practical outworking of the cosmic theology in chapters 1-3.
The armour of God passage and the marriage-as-Christ-church analogy make Ephesians 4-6 among the most practically applied sections in the Pauline corpus.
