Ephesians 3:14-21

Welcome to episode 178 of Grasp the Bible.  In this episode, we continue our study in the Book of Ephesians, covering chapter 3:14-21.  Today, we will cover: 

• The Address to the Father (vv. 14-15) 
• A Request for Power and Love (vv. 16-17) 
• A Request for an Increasing Awareness of God’s Power and Love (vv. 18-19) 
• A Doxology (vv. 20-21) 

Key takeaways: 

• No principality or authority keeps God from supernaturally strengthening His people through the indwelling Spirit and through their relationship to the exalted Christ. 
• God possesses extraordinary might, which He is able and willing to impart to His people. 
• The church consists of a family (the people of God) living in a sacred structure (the church as a house and a temple) where Christ dwells in and with us. 
• Paul wants them to know both the power of God and the love of God. In other words, Paul wants them to be confident that God has the ability to carry out His loving plan of redemption. 
• Paul prays that these believers will not only have a profound understanding of the vastness of God’s power, but that they will also develop a much deeper understanding of Christ’s love. In saying this, however, he lets them know that the love of Christ is so great that they will never comprehend the full extent of it. 

Quotable: 

• It is impossible for the human mind to think deeply enough to encompass the reality of all that God can do. 

Application: 

• The principal goal of the church is to bring glory to God for all that He is and all that He has done. 
• God’s power works in the lives of believers, enabling them to live the lives He calls them to live.
