In the opening chapter of Ephesians, after running through a litany of the amazing blessings of God's grace in Christ, Paul goes on to tell the church of his prayers for them. As he shares with them what he is praying, he doesn't focus on their circumstances or asking God to provide something they lack. Rather his prayer is focused on them knowing and realizing and living out the reality of that which they already have in Christ Jesus. From chapter 1 vs 15-23 we continue in our study of God's grace in Christ, and learn what we need to know to continue faithfully living in light of that grace in this world.
