In this lesson Bill Morris reviews some additional content from Ephesians 1:
  • Considering our mind, will and emotions in the context of the indwelling of the Holy Spirit (check out the chart used in this post on Galatians 5). "At salvation we get all of God that we're gonna get but how much will He get of us?"
  • An overview of what we've learned so far in Ephesians through verse 14.
  • New content beginning with verse 15

    1:1-2 God at Work

    this office “by the will of God”

    “Saints” and “faithful in Christ Jesus”

    Divine blessings of Grace and Peace

    1:3-6 The Work and Blessings of the

    Father

    The blessing of redemption, God is

    the giver of these blessings

    The medium through which blessings

    come—Christ

    eternal purpose

    The election of grace, which is the

    foundation of all spiritual blessings

    The election is from eternity

    Adoption originates in the free

    grace of God

    Adoption is in connection with the

    person of Christ

    Adoption is to bring believers into

    communion with God Himself

    Son

    Redemption is “in Christ”

    the blood of Christ

    the counsel of His will”

    1:13-14 The Work and Blessings of the

    Spirit

    The Jewish and Gentile Christians

    extends until of redemption

    The guarantee consists—the “down

    payment” of the Spirit

    The common doxology “Unto the

    praise of His glory”
