Ephesians: The Living Church
Sermons, Teaching | by
Pastor Adam Sinnett
Paul describes the church as a radically new people in Christ, a new humanity. Those who follow Jesus are blessed with every spiritual blessing (1:3), chosen from before the foundation of the world (1:4), holy and blameless (1:4), predestined for adoption (1:5), redeemed through His blood (1:7), forgiven their sin (1:7), lavished with grace (1:8), recipients of the revelation of God’s will through the gospel (1:9), sealed with the Holy Spirit (1:14), promised an inheritance of unsearchable riches in Christ (1:11,14) to the praise of his glorious grace (1:6). This is life changing stuff and that’s just the first chapter. Just wait, there’s more.
