Ephesians

The book of Ephesians describes the spiritual blessings believers have in Christ, including redemption through his blood and being sealed with the Holy Spirit. It explains that salvation is a gift of God, not earned through works, and that believers are now considered God's handiwork, created for good works. The book highlights the reconciliation of Jews and Gentiles through Christ, who has broken down the wall of separation and made peace between the two groups. It emphasizes the importance of living a life worthy of one's calling, with humility, meekness, and patience, and striving to preserve the unity of the Spirit. The book also provides guidance on how to live a life pleasing to God, including imitating Christ's love, avoiding vices, and being filled with the Holy Spirit. It provides instructions on relationships, including marriage, parenting, and servitude, and exhorts believers to put on the armor of God to withstand spiritual battles.
