    Exploring the book of Ephesians- Bernie Weeden

    To the Saints Faithful in Christ Jesus. The book of Ephesians calls us to live a life worthy of our callingBernie begins by explaining the environment in which the Ephesian church existed. Ephesus was a center for pagan worship, dominated by the massive Temple of Artemis (or Diana). The city was known for its involvement in magic arts, the occult, and immorality. Bernie highlights the radical commitment of the early believers who, upon their conversion, burned their magic scrolls—valued at 50,000 drachmas (about 100 years' wages for a laborer)—choosing the Kingdom of God over their past lives.The Unity of Believers: Paul’s letter addresses the diverse groups within the church, emphasizing that in Christ, the "dividing wall of hostility" has been broken down. Bernie relates this to modern times, noting that ethnic and cultural differences should not separate believers.Spiritual Blessings: She explores Ephesians 1:3, noting that believers are already blessed with "every spiritual blessing" in the heavenly places. These are not things to be worked for but received by faith.Predestination and Election: Bernie discusses the complex topics of predestination and free will. She presents a balanced view, suggesting that God’s omniscience allows Him to see our choices across all "time zones" (past, present, and future) and choose us based on our acceptance of His grace.Redemption and Grace: A major focus is the "lavish, oversized, and super-abundant" grace of God. Redemption is described as being bought out of the slavery of sin through the blood of Christ.God’s Inheritance: Bernie highlights a unique perspective on verse 11: not only do we have an inheritance in Christ, but we are God’s inheritance. We are precious possessions to Him, and our salvation is sealed by the Holy Spirit.The Power of God: She breaks down the four different Greek words for "power" used in Paul’s prayer (Dunamis, Energeia, Kratos, and Ischus). This incredible power, which raised Jesus from the dead, is the same power available to the church today.Call to ActionBernie concludes with a plea for believers to live lives "worthy of their calling." This involves:Obedience: Moving through the lifelong process of sanctification.Awareness: Understanding our position in Christ and the power we have access to through Him.Gratitude: Serving God with a heart of "reverent gratitude" for His overabundant love.
