The Apostle Paul addressing the Christians at Ephesus as the faithful in Christ Jesus. The idea behind this is that this church or these believers in Ephesus are a group of healthy believers. There is an absence of many of the problems that were going on in some of the other churches. Such as in Corinth, there was quite a few problems that Paul addresses concerning that church. While in Ehpesus they were displaying the qualities of a healthy church.
Paul begins by telling them to continue on seeking God and loving one another, while looking to Jesus for all that is in store for the believer in Jesus. Paul begins listing the wonderful Graces God has lavished upon the believers, explaining who we are as believers and what God the Father has done and is doing for us.
The wonderful point of the letter to the Ephesians is that in it we see what we have in Christ Jesus, and who we are. Being the adopted children of God who chose us before the Heavens and the earth were even created, and has been loving us ever since. Not only that but God the Father has even created a destiny for each one of us of good works in which we are called to walk or live in.
My suggestion is read the first chapter and join us in the second chapter as we find out just who we are as Christians and what is in store for us now and in the future. Learning how to be a Christian who walks with God and lives in the Power of the Holy Spirit. Being directed to the abundant life that the unbeliever cannot understand nor be apart of.
In my opinion after you take a very close look at this letter to the Ephesians, understanding who you are in Christ Jesus. You will walk away (so to speak) a new creation that God intended you to be all along. Even to the seasoned Christian who has years behind them will have a refreshed understanding of who they are in Jesus.
