There is a group of us here in New Market that are meeting to study the book of Ephesians. We've met 3 times, and covered 10 verses. We will be sharing here some of what we are discovering together. Feel free to comment or add to the discussion...
Ephesians was written to the faithful in Christ Jesus...
(list below found in Eph. 1:3-10):
In Christ, we are...
- given every spiritual blessing
- chosen
- holy & blameless in God's sight
- predestined for adoption
- freely given glorious grace/grace is lavished on us
- given redemption
- forgiven of our sins
- the mystery of God's will is revealed to us
- gathered together/in unity (future?)
What an amazing list!!
Some questions for further study:
Adoption-why is it necessary, what does it mean, etc.
Is the unity and being gathered together sometime in the future/when is the fulness of time?
Feel free to add more comments or questions!
