52. Ephesians

Who Are Believers in Christ? 

In the book of Ephesians, Paul explained both Jew and Gentile believers were united by the death of Jesus Christ.  Jesus Christ gave each believer an inheritance.  All the blessings of Jesus Christ are theirs because they have been placed in Him through faith, by the Father.      For your convenienceBible online                 City of Ephesus

A note from your Bible study mentor – 

If anyone had a right to brag about his accomplishments it would be Apostle Paul, but did he brag? What was his attitude? What was crucial to him? In his letter to the Philippians, Paul bared his soul as he awaited trial.
