Paul continues his teaching on how believers are to live as Christ followers in their relationships and in their homes.

Paul has been teaching the Ephesians how to live as followers of Christ individually. Now he turns his attention to how that looks in their homes.

Paul continues his teaching on living a life worthy of the call to follow Christ as he instructs the Ephesians to live as imitators of God.

Paul urged the Ephesians to live a life worthy of the call to follow Christ. Now he teaches them that this means having a lifestyle different from those who do not follow Jesus, and different from their own life before Christ.

After teaching how amazing the gospel of Christ is in chapters 1-3, Paul now transitions to teaching believers how to live as Christ followers.

Paul prays for believers to experience what he taught about in chapters 1-2: the power of Christ and God's great love for sinners.

After teaching the Ephesians that Jews and Gentiles are one in Christ, Paul elaborates on this mystery that brings all believers together as one body.

Paul has been explaining how we cannot save ourselves—it is a free gift of God through the finished work of Jesus.

After praying for the Ephesians to know God more through His power that raised Christ from the dead, Paul shows the believers that this same power has raised them with Christ.

Paul begins the letter to the Ephesians by praising God for the work of salvation and giving us every spiritual blessing in Christ.

Paul began his third missionary journey by returning to Ephesus, after briefly stopping there at the end of his second journey. He stayed in Ephesus ministering for almost three years, his longest stay in any city during his journeys.

Exodus 34 describes the awe-inspiring glory that was on the face of Moses after he met with God on Mount Sinai, but the Apostle Paul uses that very instance to describe the greater glory of the new covenant which impacts all believers today.

After the debacle of the golden calf, God called Moses up Mount Sinai to receive a second set of stone tablets containing the 10 Commandments. In this encounter, He revealed much about his character for them and us.
