Ephesians Chapter 3 Discussion Page 9

God could now give us His grace through the faith of Jesus, who exercised His faith in being obedient to death, even the death of the cross. Jesus fulfilled God's plan of forgiveness and everything we receive from God by being obedient to God's will. Now God could extend His grace to us.

The efforts and toiling of our leaders, clergy, teachers, encouragers, etc should challenge us to persevere in the race of Salvation.

Give thanks unto Him.

Ephesians is the book that stresses Unity In the Body of Christ, because there is one body one Faith and one Baptism and that is Jesus Christ the Son of God To the savings of souls. Amen.

I can tell that Paul puts his full confidents and trust in Christ Jesus. Through chapter 5 scriptures 4 to ending he talks about the breath, length, depth, height of what christ can do and how much he loves us and invites us to know him more in the spirit. by reading this I learned it's not about what I can do but rather what christ can do, spiritual and naturaly. two thinks I think about 1. Paul was I man put in prison and he still has the nerve to trust and have confidents in christ. This shows me We Can Do All Things Through Christ Which Strength US. 2. I Think about the breath which he breaths through us, length he doesn't give up on us. depth he is long suffering with us. Height THERE is nothing imposible with God. We as Saints can weather the storm with Christ Jesus help. these scriptures let me know I AM NOT ALONE AMEN.

The scripture portrays our God as unlimited God, God who can do all things and nothing can limit His ability to do whatever He wants to do. He is able and extends it to us by meeting us at the point of our need even beyond our imagination.

This is an essential purpose of the church of Christ - to provide the medium by which the wisdom (plan, judgement and workings) of God over and above principalities and powers are revealed and established. It is also primarily for this reason that the church is considered a threat and usually attacked both spiritually and physically by the agents of these powers but we know, nothing can be done against the truth.

so far I like it. Paticularly ( m/p )the part abou
t the church a JESUS being the Corner Stone of it all and how he sit's at the right hand of God his
father adopting us making us part of his family and clarfing th fact that he did alo more than die on the cross for the sins of man kind and rise three days later.but made the Lord God Almighty Loving father in heavan more then our GOD the true and one and only GOD made him are father. Is that right ? ! Love in JESUS James /Navaho High Desert So.Cal. ooooouuuuuuut

I chose reading this chapter seeking a prayer for my niece who is struggling financially as well as emotionally after her husband of 31 years left her this past year. Verses 13, 14, 15, 16, and 17 came to life for me: "Wherefore I desire that ye faint not.." "For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ" "Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named" "That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit..". It's 2:01 a.m. and I'm resting my cares and concern with this promise.

I have been preaching the gospel for 33 years or better and this one of my Favorited verses IN THE Bible I use it to begin my sermon it has so much hope for to know he can beyond and a above that we could ever ask.

When I think of the vast ability of God my Father I am in awe. He truly is the master planner of my life. So for this and all, I give God the praise.

thankyou for the light you were given of this verse. i trust the kjv over all others after it.this verse tells me faith is a fruit of the indwelling spirit imputed to me. i cannot say i have my own righteousness or faith as infused but my sin covered by jesus blood . jesus earned by a loving work his place as king and lord.he did all and has all and i believe it thank our holy god.

UntoFUngo thee oh LORD I surrender all. For thou oh LORD art the LORD even the ALMIGHTY. GOD is ABLE.

That Christ may dwell in our hearts by faith...that ye{i) being rooted and grounded in love may understand the Cross and it accomplished....really, were it not for the cross, we'd all be eternally doomed. Thx u God

Such a faith strenghtening verse.That God can do even Exceedingly greater than we can imagine or think of.God is then TOO MUCH.

When i think about the ableness of my God to do beyond my own limitation,it settles all things to me and to realize that He is no respecter of person what He did for king David,He can do it for me

That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man;

17 That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love,

18 May be able to comprehend with all saints what [is] the breadth, and length, and depth, and height;

19 And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God.

20 Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us,

A truly loving GOD.

Let us all continue to walk in faith; serve our GOD with truth and in Spirit.

Hi Mike, thanks for your comment.

The 1611 Bible is in old English and although it may seem grammatically incorrect to us, the language was different back then and has evolved to become what it is today. See the 2nd FAQ: Link

Typo on first line of:

Other Translations of Ephesians 3:15
Of whom the whole family in heauen and earth is named,

Heaven is spelled incorrectly.

Thanks for your efforts, it is appriciated.

Mike

I wake up somedays with words...Manifestation of who I am lay in what I hold true within my Heart, ultimately the choice is given to me by God; either i adhere to His plan or I falter and suffer through life...Unspoken love; is when Anger does not change what you hold true within your Heart.

What a wonderful revelation of GOD concerning what he has in stock for us. Lets keep on beleiving.

He knows us better than we know our self ,he can do beyond what we expect.God is great.

Ephesians on breadt; width and depth and height of God's Love

I give God all glory for He is able to to all things,and much more than I can ever imagine or express.There is nothing that is too hard for Him to do fo me.His power,ie the Holy Spirit of God, dwells in me and He strengthens my innerman so that I do not waver in my faith in Him to establish His word (that I believe in and confess with conviction)in every situation in my life.Praise God!

Stand strong be wise in decisions. In everything let GOD be true Let your faith lead your destiny .
