What does Paul mean when he says, to walk (lead a life) worthy of the [divine] calling to which you have been called? God says to the readers of Ephesians and to each of us, Here, my child. This is your identity, your position; stand in your rights!
Pauls great letter to the church located in a city full of idols and paganism is quite appropriate for study in our day. It could be called Pauls masterpiece because of its depth and vastness. Ephesians could be considered a theology course for every believer, or perhaps a treatise on the church. Paul desires every reader to mature in faith, love, character, and revelation. He celebrates in a basic theme of redemption by God and describes how the redeemed person should live. Pauls revelation on many subjects is our Scripture and guide for life.
He expounds on:
existence in Christ;
the spiritual blessings of every believer;
the role of The Holy Spirit in the Christians life;
the transformation of grace;
election, predestination and adoption of Gods children;
redemption through Christs blood;
family life; and
spiritual warfare and Gods mighty armor.
I encourage you to make a journey with me through Ephesians. I believe it will change your life.
