Summary: The Book of Ephesians is about all the spiritual riches available to the believer. Ephesians 1:3 the theme of the whole book says, Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ: For the first fourteen verses the Apostle Paul talks about how we are "born spiritually rich" when we trusted Christ. But he says that being born spiritually rich is not enough, for we must grow in our understanding of our riches if we are ever going to use them to the glory of God. God desired that the Christians in Ephesus understood what great spiritual wealth they had in Christ. After talking about Knowledge is Power through the first 14 verses, Paul goes and starts to pray for them that they would seize this Knowledge and have the Power to use in their daily walk. Two thousand years later, God desires the same for us today.

Summary: God Seals Us when we believe. Why does this passage of scripture matter to you today? Well quite simply, if a person continually struggles with what is their purpose and worth in life, and if they continually struggle with their eternal security, they will never be able to move on and live in the victorious Christian life that God purposes for them, and promises for them to have for the taking. And notice, I say for the taking, because although God purposes it and secures it for the Believer, the believer still must take it by their own freewill choosing.

Summary: Life has a way of leaving us in pieces. Relationships fracture. Dreams shatter. Sin separates. From the moment humanity fell in the Garden of Eden, the story of our existence has been one of things falling apart—man separated from God, brother against brother, nation against nation. Yet woven throughout Scripture is a counter-narrative, a divine promise that what has been broken will be made whole again.

This is the heart of redemption.
