Top Highlights

“The letter to the Ephesians celebrates the beauty of the church—the Bride of Christ. From our perspective the church isn’t so pretty. We see the backbiting, the squabbling, the divisions. Heaven sees that, as well. But heaven sees more. Heaven sees the church as cleansed and made holy by Christ.” (Pages 7–8)

“What are some spiritual blessings that we have through Christ?” (Page 13)

“Hunger is not satisfied by eating twenty-one meals in one sitting once a week. The body needs a steady diet to remain strong. So does the soul. When God sent food to his people in the wilderness, he didn’t provide loaves already made. Instead, he sent them manna in the shape of thin flakes, like frost … on the desert ground (Exod. 16:14).” (Page 6)

“He [Jesus] died so he could give the church to himself like a bride in all her beauty. He died so that the church could be pure and without fault, with no evil or sin or any other wrong thing in it’ (Ephesians 5:27).” (Pages 7–8)

“‘God’s sovereignty is never exercised in condemning men who ought to be saved, but rather it has resulted in the salvation of men who ought to be lost.’” (Page 22)
