<p><strong>Paul’s reminder of our identity in Christ.</strong></p><p>Ephesus was located in Asia Minor, a region full of spiritual darkness and the site of a clash taking place between Christianity and pagan religions. However, the apostle Paul saw an opportunity to advance the kingdom of God. In the letter to the Ephesians, Paul walks the believers through their spiritual inheritance in Christ. This inheritance moves them from death to life and into God’s family – something so much better than anything they had in their former lives. Because of this, they need to “walk worthy of their calling,” understand and use their spiritual gifts, and put on the armor of God.</p><p>The <em>Jeremiah Bible Study Series </em>captures Dr. David Jeremiah’s forty-plus years of commitment to teaching the Word of God. In each study, he will help you understand what the Bible says, what it meant to the people at the time it was written, and what it means to you today. Along the way, you will gain insights into the text, identify key stories and themes, and be challenged to apply truth you find to your life.</p>
