8. Ephesians - Survey Pt 2

Ephesians carries the message that 'believers today' are in a spiritual battle with the forces of Satan and evil, dividing itself between our heavenly calling [Ephesians 1, 2, 3], focusing on Election and Regeneration, while presenting the Church as a Body, a Temple, and a Mystery [1:22f; 2:14-23; 3:8-14] ... All of this Divine work is 'by grace' [2:4-6]. Our Christian experience begins by resting [Sit, 2:4-6]; as we grow and mature, we begin to take steps of faith and obedience [Walk, Eph 4-5, repeated]. However, we are all maturing to be able to 'resist the devil that he might flee from us [Stand, Eph 6:10ff]. As we come to Christ that salvation is a work of God, of grace [Eph 2:8-9]. Why does the Church loom so large in the spiritual warfare he presents? The Church was designed and called to be a beachhead that Christ begins to reclaim authority over humanity and the earth [Eph 1:10ff]. Enjoy
