- Welcome to The Rapid Bull, daily edition, where we provide a quick biblical interpretations and applications.
- 00:12
- This is a ministry of striving for eternity. The book of Ephesians is what's known as a circular letter.
- 00:19
- This is a letter that we have found in some old manuscripts. It had different church names other than the church of Ephesia.
- 00:27
- And the thought is that Paul wrote a letter and they would actually take the letter and write this to different churches.
- 00:36
- So this was a very general letter that was true for all the churches with helpful information that would be good for all of them.
- 00:43
- And therefore there's nothing specific to a specific local church that Paul deals with in this. But it's going to be very practical teaching.
- 00:51
- Again, almost half the book will be doctrinal, then practical. He's going to work through, really chapter one is a very long run -on sentence, but he is going to deal very strongly with God's purpose and provision in salvation.
- 01:08
- He's going to go through the entire Trinity and show each person in the Trinity and the role they had in our salvation.
- 01:15
- He's going to lay out the position of being dead in the old condition, alive in the new condition.
- 01:25
- He's going to talk about how we are to be unified as a body of Christ. He's going to talk much about the conduct that we should have within the church, the way we walk, the way that we live in holiness, loving one another.
- 01:41
- All of this is going to be a practical nature. Ephesians is a book that is good for every church, everywhere, because it was meant to be a letter for every church.
