Top Highlights
“Paul wrote in 1 Corinthians 2:9–10: But as it is written: ‘Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, nor have entered into the heart of man the things which God has prepared for those who love Him.’ But God has revealed them to us through His Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God. Ephesians is the fulfillment of this. It reveals the things God has prepared for those who love Him.” (Ephesians 1:1–2)
“Like Romans, Ephesians was not written so much to address problems in a particular church; more so, it was written to explain some of the great themes and doctrines of Christianity.” (Ephesians 1:1–2)
“Because of this high calling, we should walk (live) in a different way than the world around us does.” (Ephesians 4:17–19)
“The word has little to do with emotion; it has much to do with self-denial for the sake of another.” (Ephesians 5:25a)
“Paul did not call the believer to enter into spiritual warfare. He simply announced it as a fact: we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but (we do wrestle) against principalities and so forth. You are in a spiritual battle. If you are ignorant or ignore that fact, you probably aren’t winning the battle.” (Ephesians 6:12)
