EPHESIANS

Chapter 1

read chapter

STUDY:

  • What do we have through Jesus according to verse 7? 
  • What is made known to us through Jesus?
  • What is God's ultimate plan for the fullness of time? What does this mean?
  • What does it mean to "obtain an inheritance", mentioned in verse 11? Who receives this inheritance?
  • What are we sealed with when we accept and believe in Jesus?
  • Starting in verse 17, what does Paul pray that the Ephesians receive and for what reason?
  • Read verse 19 again.  What else did the "immeasurable greatness of his power" that is used toward us, in us and through us also do?
  • To whom did God give all authority?


APPLICATION:

  • Jesus LAVISHES His grace upon us- grab hold of it and accept it joyfully!
  • How confident are you in the security of your salvation?
  • When you read through verses 16-23, how do you feel about the text?  Isn't it crazy to read how powerful God is? He is the same God that loves us and takes care of us!  Romans 8:31~ What shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?

HIGHLIGHTED TEXT:

In him you also, when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation, and believed in him, were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit, who is the guarantee of our inheritance until we acquire possession of it, to the praise of his glory.  {Verses 13-14}
