Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Ephesians 1:3-14

1. The purpose: glory 1:3-14In the Greek text Ephesians 1:3-14 are one sentence. The Holy Spirit carried Paul along in his thinking as he contemplated God’s provision so that he moved quickly from one blessing to the next. It is as though he was ecstatically opening a treasure chest, lifting its jewels with his hands, letting them cascade through his fingers, and marveling briefly at them as they caught his eye."Each section ends with a note of praise for God (Ephesians 1:6; Ephesians 1:11;... read more

II. THE CHRISTIAN’S CALLING 1:3-3:21". . . the first three chapters are one long prayer, culminating in the great doxology at the end of chapter 3.

Thomas Constable

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Ephesians 1:14

The Holy Spirit’s indwelling presence is a pledge of all that God will give us as His children. This pledge is not just a promise but the first part of our inheritance, the down payment, so to speak (cf. Genesis 38:17-20 LXX). The fact that we possess Him now (the "already" aspect of our salvation) assures us that the rest of our salvation (the "not yet" portion) will inevitably follow. An engagement ring is this kind of pledge."The content of the inheritance here is life in heaven with God."... read more
