Ephesians 1:3-14 in Overview
Ephesians 1:3–14
Excerpt
This grand expression is made up of three sections (1:3–6, 7–12, 13–14). The first proclaims the believers’ being chosen by God for “sonship” (1:3–6). The second describes the believers’ redemption (1:7–12). The third affirms the believers’ present pledge of the Spirit for future hope (1:13–14). Each section ends with “praise our glorious God.” Christ, the Son, is the central link in the praise to the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. The spiritual blessings (1:3) stem from the believers’ father/child relationship with God (1:5) and their resultant inheritance (1:11, 14). More
