Overview

"""For it is by grace you are saved through faith. And that not of yourselves: it is a gift of God, and not of works, lest any man should boast. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand for us to do. (Eph 2:8-10)The letter to the Ephesians is one of the prison letters, that is, it is one of Paul's letters that were written while the apostle was imprisoned in Rome.On his third missionary journey, the apostle Paul spent almost three years in the city of Ephesus, a city that became an important center of Christian action in the Roman province of Asia, in a region belonging to Turkey. The epistle to the Ephesians was written by Paul during his first imprisonment in Rome, between 60 and 63 AD.Most of the apostle's recommendations concern the church's position in relation to Christ. At the end of the six chapters, the focus is on the struggle of the saints, an encouragement that as followers of Christ, all should understand that God has all authority to manifest his presence among believers: ""Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ"" (Eph 1:3).The author then warns about doctrine, the foundation of God's purposes for all mankind, where the existence and the walk must keep their attention on the word of the Lord, on the teachings of Jesus. In this way, all God's people will not be influenced by doctrines of doubtful origin, which do not come from God and do not acknowledge Christ as Lord and Savior: ""There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called in one hope of your calling; there is one Lord, one faith, one baptism; one God and Father of all, who is above all and through all and in all"" (Eph 4:4,6).Throughout the passages, we identify that the first chapters speak of God's acts and principles, then speak of the experiences of God's people at that time, and finally present considerations about the Christian's daily struggle, an invitation to the church to mature. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to resist the wiles of the devil"" (Eph 6:10,11) and ""Be angry and do not sin; do not let the sun go down on your wrath"" (Eph 4:26)."
