The Holy Bible - Ephesians

The Holy Bible is a collection of books. So I have split them up. I will read it in 1 year, every day ~15 minutes of reading.

Why read it?

The Letter to the Ephesians is Paul’s grand picture of God’s plan, written from prison around 60–62 AD. He shows how Christ unites Jews and Gentiles into one new people, the church. The book moves from deep truth about salvation to practical rules for homes, work, and spiritual battle.

You will find rich prayers, praise for grace, and clear calls to walk worthy of your calling. This book lifts the heart and equips the believer.

Favourite quote

In Ephesians 2:8-9, Paul writes:

For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.

These two sentences settle the matter of salvation forever: it is God’s free gift, received by faith alone. They remove all room for pride and fill us with gratitude.

What I Loved

The prayer in chapter 3 stops me every time. Paul asks that we “may be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge” (Ephesians 3:18-19). This vast love of Jesus is too big to measure, yet we are invited to know it personally.

Key Takeaway

Ephesians teaches that we are saved by grace, seated with Christ in heaven, and built together into God’s dwelling place. The book calls us to live in unity, purity, love, and readiness for battle with the armour of God. It reminds us that every blessing is ours in Christ, and we are to shine as light until He returns.
