In Ephesians 1:15-23, Paul says a prayer over the church in Ephesus, and if you were to sum up the prayer in one point it would be: That the church would know, truly know, the reality of what Paul had just told them. Paul wants them to know that they are blessed, chosen, predestined, adopted and receiving lavished grace. So that these truths about them actually shape their identities, their lifestyles, and their communities.
