| 2 | front:intro | mw28 | 0 | # Ephesians Study Questions<br><br>The Apostle Paul helped establish the church in Ephesus, and taught there for 18 months. Paul writes this letter to remind them of the relationship they have with God because they believe in Jesus, and to encourage them to live in a godly way that is worthy of their spiritual connection to God.<br><br>Paul explains that those who believe in Christ are so closely related to Jesus that he refers to them many times as “in Christ.” Although we may not clearly see it here, it is a reality in heaven. In fact, the manner in which believers of all races are joined to Christ is a “mystery” that we could not understand until God revealed it to us through the message of the Gospel.<br><br>The first three chapters describe our relationship to God, and the last three chapters tell us how we should live because we have the relationship.<br><br>You can discover Paul’s teaching concerning each of these things by carefully reading this letter. Ask yourself questions about what you read, and pray to God that he will open your eyes to see clearly. | |||
