"For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith — and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God — not by works, so that no one can boast."
Ephesians 2:8–9"Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes."
Ephesians 6:11"Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us."
Ephesians 3:20"There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called to one hope when you were called; one Lord, one faith, one baptism."
Ephesians 4:4–5Ephesians is a letter written by the Apostle Paul, likely during his imprisonment in Rome, presenting a grand vision of God's eternal purpose to unite all things in Christ and to form one new humanity — the Church. The first half exalts the spiritual blessings believers have received in Christ, while the second half calls Christians to live lives worthy of that calling. Theologically, it is one of the richest New Testament letters, emphasising salvation by grace, the cosmic significance of the Church, and the believer's identity and resources in Christ.
