Ephesians

We are attending a Bible study on the book of Ephesians.

Paul or someone else (remember the joke about Shakespeare was not written by Shakespeare but by someone else named Shakespeare) wrote the book to Ephesians 1: 1"To God’s holy people in Ephesus."

It is amazing to me how much of the Christian faith has been defined by Paul.  When you consider, he was: Acts 8:3: But Saul (Paul) began to destroy the church. Going from house to house, he dragged off both men and women and put them in prison.


Probably the greatest contribution was Ephesians 2: 8 For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— 9 not by works, so that no one can boast. 10 For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.


It is nice to think that our entrance fee has been already paid for!
