An Inspired Writer
Then Paul dwelt two whole years in his own rented house, and received all who came to him, preaching the kingdom of God and teaching the things which concern the Lord Jesus Christ with all confidence, no one forbidding him.
Acts 28:30-31
We left the Apostle Paul in the book of Acts under house arrest. He was allowed to have visitors and the freedom to do the work of the ministry. Paul was very productive; he never wasted a minute. During the two years under house arrest, Paul wrote what is called today, “the Prison Epistles.” We usually find these books listed as: Ephesians, Philippians, Colossians and Philemon. Full of the Holy Spirit, Paul was an inspired writer!
At Calvary Chapel Golden Springs, there are many people and entire families who have been touched by the Gospel message. God continues to add to His Church. This is why I believe with all my heart that the book of Ephesians will be an excellent epistle for us to go through. New believers need to learn who they are in Christ, and those who have walked with Christ for some time need to be reminded of how spiritually rich they are in Christ.
The book of Ephesians will be a very practical book for us to study. Interestingly, the first three chapters of the book of Ephesians will cover who we are in Christ as believers, and the next three chapters will address how we are to walk as Christians. The last chapter of the book deals with spiritual warfare. We need to learn how to use our spiritual weaponry against our adversaries.
Ruth Paxon was a Bible teacher, missionary, and author who divided the book of Ephesians this way: the wealth, the walk and the warfare of the believer. Get ready to be blessed!
God’s Word is both powerful and practical.
