We’re Going to */continue/* on the */book of Ephesians/*.
*/Last week/* we */covered/* what I would call an */introduction/*.
We */looked at/* some */things/* that we’re */going on in/* the city of */Ephesus/*.
We also */looked at/* (*/Acts 19/*) which was the */time/* that */Paul spent in Ephesus/*.
Paul spent */about 3 years/* in Ephesus.
He */wrote/* the book of */Ephesians/* */from Rome/* while he was in prison.
The date Paul */wrote/* this */book/* was */about 61 AD/*.
*/Last week/* we */also covered/* (*/EPH 1:1/*) so let’s pick up from there.
*I.
**/EPH 1:2/*
*A.
*This is a *familiar greeting*.
Paul uses this */same or /**similar**/ /**greeting* in many of his letters.
*(/ROM 1:7, 1COR 1:3, 2COR 1:2, GAL 1:3/**/ and so on/*)
*1. /In /**all of these books* *including EPH,* *“Grace”* always *comes* *1st* *then* *“Peace.”*
*a.
**Before**/ /**you can have peace* in your life *you have to understand the Grace**/ of God/*.
*i.
**Sometimes* *people get* so *caught up* *in* *their* *own efforts* that they *never have peace.*
*ii.
*They are *always frustrated*, *trying to work* *to please God,* so that you can *receive his promises.
*
*b.
**There’s 1 thing* *about trying to work to please God* */and received/*, you *never**/ /**know**/ /**when you’ve**/ /**done enough.*
*i.
*The *Devil will always* try *to**/ /**tell you* that *you**/ /**haven’t done enough.*
*2. **But* *when you understand Grace,* */you /**understand* that *God has already done all the work.*
*a.
**All you need* to do *is* *reach out in faith* *and**/ /**receive* it.
*i.
**Realize* that *Jesus**/ /**has already**/ /**done the work* for us.
We should *be at peace knowing* that */the /**work is done.
*
*B.
*Turn with me to */2 PET 1:2 /*
*1. *Notice that *“Grace and Peace”* */can be/* *“Multiplied”* */unto you/* *through* the *knowledge**/ of the /**God* *and* */the Lord /**Jesus**/ Christ/*.
*a.
**Understanding* *“Grace”* *(the work is already done)* *will bring peace.*
*b.
**Understanding and knowing* *God’s Word,* *especially* *knowing and**/ /**understanding who God is* *and**/ the Lord /**Jesus**/ Christ/* *will cause* *“Grace and Peace”* */to be /**multiplied unto you*.
*II.
*Starting from *(EPH 1:3 through EPH 1:14)* are all in *1 sentence* in the *Greek*.
*A.
*Let’s *read it* then *as* it should be *written*.
*/EPH 1:3-14/*
*1. *The *tense* of *these Vs* are in the *past**/ /**tense*.
*a.
*They *deal with everything* that *God did for you* *before**/ the /**foundation**/ of the /**world.*
*2.
/A time long ago/*, */before you were/* ever */born/*, */before/* the */world/* even */existed/*, */God planed out the Plan of Redemption/*.
*a.
/He saw you/* already */redeemed/* */and/* */called you out/*, */by name/*, */and said you are redeemed/*.
*i. /What was God doing/*?
“*/Calling those things that be not as though they were/*.”
*3.
/God knew/* that */we needed/* the Plan of */Redemption/*.
He */knew/* that */man would sin/* */and/* */lose/* their */fellowship/* with God.
*a.
*So */God created the answers/* */before the problem/* ever */existed/*.
*B.
*Let’s look at each starting with */V 3/* *(EPH 1:3)* (read)
*1. *In the *1st* part of *(V 3)* *Paul says,* *“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.”*
*a.
*The word *“Blessed”* is *actually* the word *“Praise.”*
And the word *“Be”* is *italicized* meaning that it is *not really there.
*
*i.
*The *translators* *put it there* in an attempt to make things clearer.
*b.
*What *this V**/ is /**really saying* is this, *“Praise the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.”*
*2. *Paul goes on to say, *“Who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ.”*
*(V 3b)*
*a.
*The word *“Blessed”* */here/* *means**/ /**something different* than it did when *used* in the *1st* *part* of the *V.*
*i.
*It’s a *different Greek word*, but it is from the *same root* word.
The meaning of this word is *“To benefit or to Prosper.”*
*ii.
**What are the benefits* or *what is it that God has prospered us with?
*
*b.
**Every spiritual blessing**/ in heavenly places/*.
*i.
**We have already been blessed**/ /**with every spiritual blessing* */therefore/* *we**/ /**do not need**/ to/* go to the Father and *beg* */for these things/*.
*ii.
*All we have to do is to *receive**/ /**them**/ /**by Faith.
*
*c.
*Let me give you an *example* of a *spiritual blessing.*
(The *authority* of the *Believer*)
*i.
**We**/ /**don’t**/ /**have to beg**/ /**for**/ /**Authority*, all *we* have to do is to *put it to use by faith.
*
*ii.
/This /**same thing**/ goes /**for**/ /**all**/ the /**Spiritual Blessing* that *God* has *given us.*
*(Prosperity* which is a *spiritual blessing,* that’s *where it starts,* *Healing,* *Righteous)*
*iii.
**Joshua* *didn’t have to ask* */for the /**land* that *God* had *promised* him.
*/All /**he**/ /**had to**/ do was to /**enter**/ into it /**by faith* */and/* */walk in it/*.
*3. **Paul ends**/ this V /**by telling**/ us /**how to receive**/ these /**blessings*.
*/It only come /**by**/ the Lord /**Jesus**/ Christ/*.
*a.
*You *have to be in Christ* */and /**walking**/ /**with Him* *to have* all */these /**blessings*.
*C.
**/EPH 1:4/*
*1. *In the *1st* *part* */of/* *(V 4)* *Paul says* that *God has chosen us.
*
*a.
*The word *“Chosen”* means *“To call out.”*
