Synopsis

Discover the riches of Paul’s letter to the Ephesians and what it means to live fully “in Christ.”

Ephesians is one of the most profound and encouraging books of the New Testament. It lifts our eyes to God’s eternal purpose in Christ, reminds us of the extraordinary blessings believers have received by grace, and then shows us how those truths should transform the way we live.

In Introducing Ephesians: God’s Eternal Purpose in Christ, pastor, Bible teacher and author Mathew Bartlett provides an accessible seven-session guide designed for individual study, small groups and church Bible studies.

Beginning with God’s eternal plan of salvation and moving through themes such as grace, reconciliation, the church, Christian maturity, relationships, spiritual warfare and prayer, this study keeps the Lord Jesus Christ at the centre throughout.

Each session includes:

  • Historical Context to help you understand the world behind the text
  • Key Themes highlighting the main truths of each passage
  • Understanding the Biblical Passage with clear, Christ-centred explanation
  • Personal Application connecting the teaching of Ephesians with everyday Christian life
  • Discussion Starters for personal reflection or group conversation
  • Leader’s Notes and Sample Answers to help those leading Bible studies

Ephesians reminds us that Christianity begins not with what we can do for God, but with what God has already done for us in the Lord Jesus Christ. We have been chosen, redeemed, forgiven, made alive, brought near, adopted into God’s family and blessed with every spiritual blessing in Christ.

But grace also calls for a response.

Because we belong to Christ, we are called to walk worthy of him: growing in holiness, walking in love and light, being filled with the Holy Spirit, building up the body of Christ, strengthening our relationships, and standing firm in the strength of the Lord.

Whether you are encountering Ephesians for the first time or returning to a familiar letter, Introducing Ephesians will help you understand its message more clearly, apply its teaching more personally, and appreciate more deeply the spiritual riches that belong to every believer in Christ.

Part of the Open the Word Bible Study series — helping Christians understand the Bible, grow in grace and put God’s Word into practice.
