Quotes about Ephesians

I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may . . . grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ. [ Ephesians 3:17—18 NIV

Paul makes the point most clearly that marriage is designed to be the display of God. In Ephesians 5:31—32 he quotes Genesis 2:24 and then tells us the mystery that it has always contained: "'Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and hold fast to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh.' This mystery is profound, and I am saying that it refers to Christ and the church.

And you were dead in your trespasses and sins,

Speaking the truth in love, let us grow in every way into Him who is the head—Christ. Ephesians 4:15

This name reminds us of Baptism, which should be practiced in daily tribulations and produce its effects so that we grow into a new and perfect man (cf. Eph. 4:13-15) and in this way the name of Christian be perfected until our name and Old Adam are abolished. Therefore

to Him be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever. Amen.

Since pleasing God is the first purpose of your life, your most important task is to discover how to do that. Figure out what will please Christ, and then do it. EPHESIANS 5:10 THE MESSAGE

The Christian faith is an objective faith; therefore, it must have an object that is worthy of faith. Salvation comes not from the strength of our beliefs, but from the object of our beliefs. Yes, salvation comes through faith (Eph. 2:8, 9; John 6:29), but the merit of faith depends upon the object believed (not the faith itself).

Grace to all who love our Lord Jesus Christ with an undying love.

May Christ through your faith [actually] dwell (settle down, abide, make His permanent home) in your hearts! May you be rooted deep in love and founded securely on love. —EPHESIANS 3:17

not by works, so that no one can boast.

Peace to the brothers and love with faith from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
