From the confines of imprisonment, Paul pens another letter to a young church that he started during one of his missionary tours. Residing in this bustling metropolitan, that was rich with commerce and culture, was a group of Christ followers. Paul’s letter to the Ephesians was brimming with reminders about their calling, their identity, and their loving relationship with God in Jesus. Accordingly, Paul concludes his letter with this endearing benediction, “Grace to all who love our Lord Jesus Christ with an undying love.” (Ephesians 6:24). This series will explore the themes that inform Paul’s benediction.

Paul is mindful to help the Ephesians recall their former lives to highlight their current life as a result of the grace of God. Being alive has the function of impacting everything around us. How does being alive bring life to the rampant morbidity in our society?

The church in Ephesus was an influential church visited by Paul during his second missionary journey (Circa AD 52). The book of Acts gives a prolonged description of Paul’s interaction with this group of disciples. In the introduction of this letter, Paul reminds the Jesus followers of many of the blessings they enjoy while also highlighting Christ’s authority in their lives.
