NT
Ephesians 1
mine
Paul, being sent from the Lord, sends greetings to the faithful saints of Ephesus, grace to you and peace from God our Father and Jesus Christ our Lord.
In this Jesus our heavenly Father has blessed us with every spiritual blessing
to the praise of His glory.
actionpurpose
And because of your faith in Jesus, I give thanks for you and I continually pray for you
that you may know the awesomeness of Jesus.
actionresult
Remember we were dead...but God made us alive by grace through faith.
To the praise of his glory.
And, in this new life we have good works to do!
And those who are in Christ are now one! Jew and Gentile are brought together into one family!
Because of these things, I Paul was made a minister so that the mystery would be brought to light and the wisdom of God would be displayed.
So, I pray
for the purpose of you being strengthened and Christ may dwell in you and you would know the fullness of God for His glory.
To Him who can do more than all this, to Him be the glory forever!
progression
ideaexplanation
In light of all the things I just stated, walk worthy...live in light of these truths! And live them out together, helping one another.
Don't live like pagans, live like those who have been born again.
negativepositive
Put away all that is sinful and be kind to each other.
All this means that you should now, after being (re)created in the image of God, should imitate Him.
If you don't, and live like unregenerate people, then you may be proving to be unregenerate yourself and headed for hell.
So walk carefully. Time is short, don't waste your life. Submit to each other as you walk together redeeming the time.
And furthermore, wives submit to husband, husbands love your wives,
and in so doing, paint a picture of Jesus and the Church.
Children, obey your parents
so it goes well with you.
And dads, don't provoke your children!
situationresponse
Slaves, obey your earthly masters in sincerity. Not to be men pleasers
but so that you please God who is watching.
Masters, do the same to your slaves!
inference
As you live these things out, put on the armor of God.
And I'm sending another, Tychicus, to check on you and enourage you.
As I said before, grace and peace to you from God the Father and our Lord Jesus.
