Perspective is important for faithful, fruitful living. The big picture is important. In Ephesians 2:1–10 we have a “big picture”—a big picture of saving grace. Paul wanted these believers to see who they were in Christ, to see the glory of Christ and His church. He wanted them to properly consider the community of faith—God’s new community—because, as they gave it due to consideration, they would prioritise what God prioritises: the church.
