What is the book of Ephesians about for believers?
Ephesians is a tremendous letter dealing with the believer’s position in the Body of Christ. It is to be taught verse by verse, and its first chapter parallels the sealing, anointing, and down payment of the Spirit in our hearts.
Les explains that Ephesians is a tremendous letter dealing with our position in the Body of Christ as believers. He notes that someday they will be teaching the book verse by verse. In the context, Ephesians chapter 1 is cited as a perfect parallel to the verse just discussed, where God establishes, anoints, seals, and gives the earnest or down payment of the Spirit in our hearts. So for believers, Ephesians concerns their position in the Body of Christ and reinforces the Spirit’s sealing and earnest.
