EPHESIANS

CHRIST AS THE HEAD OF THE BODY
aka THE CHURCH

---

Ephesians 1:22 And hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head over all things to the church, 

Ephesians 4:5 One Lord, one faith, one baptism, 

Ephesians 5:23 For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body.

CHRIST SUPREMACY OVER ANGELS and SPIRITUAL POWERS

Ephesians 1:21
Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come: 

THE CHURCH:
"THE BODY OF CHRIST"

Ephesians 1:22 And hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head over all things to the church, 

Ephesians 1:23 Which is his body, the fulness of him that filleth all in all.

 ​Ephesians 4:12 For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:

 Ephesians 5:23 For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body. 

Ephesians 5:24 Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing. 

Ephesians 5:25 Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; 

Ephesians 5:26 That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, 

Ephesians 5:27 That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish. 

Ephesians 5:28 So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself. 

Ephesians 5:29 For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church: 

Ephesians 5:30 For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones.

GROWTH OF THE BODY
NOURISHMENT

  Ephesians 4:16 From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love. 

THE BODY IS ONE.

Ephesians 2:16 And that he might reconcile both unto God in one body by the cross, having slain the enmity thereby: 

Ephesians 4:4 There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling;

THE MEMBERS OF THE BODY OF CHRIST WERE ONCE DEAD IN SINS

Ephesians 2:1 And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins; 

Ephesians 2:2 Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience: 

Ephesians 2:3 Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others. 

Ephesians 2:4 But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, 

Ephesians 2:5 Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ,
(by grace ye are saved;)

WE WERE ONCE ALIENATED FROM GOD BUT NOW RECONCILED

​Ephesians 2:12 That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world: 

Ephesians 2:13 But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ. 


Ephesians 4:18 Having the understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart: 

WE WERE ONCE IN SPIRITUAL DARKNESS

Ephesians 4:18 Having the understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart:

WE ARE NOW RISEN WITH CHRIST

Ephesians 2:6 And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus: 

WE ARE NOW,AS SAVED BELIEVERS,ALIVE IN CHRIST

Ephesians 2:5 Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ,
(by grace ye are saved;)

RECONCILED THROUGH THE DEATH OF CHRIST 

Ephesians 2:13 But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ. 

Ephesians 2:14 For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us; 

Ephesians 2:15 Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace; 

Ephesians 2:16 And that he might reconcile both unto God in one body by the cross, having slain the enmity thereby: 


REDEEMED IN CHRIST

Ephesians 1:7 In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace;

BELIEVERS ARE NOW
​IN THE LIGHT

  Ephesians 5:8 For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light: 

Ephesians 5:9 (For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth;)

WE ARE NOW ROOTED
​IN CHRIST 

Ephesians 3:17 That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love,

THE BODY OF CHRIST  IS BUILT UPON A  DOCTRINAL STRUCTURE 

Ephesians 2:20 And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone; 

THE FOUNDATION

FILLED WITH THE SPIRIT OF GOD

  Ephesians 3:19 And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God.

THE FULNESS

Ephesians 1:23 Which is his body, the fulness of him that filleth all in all. 

Ephesians 3:19 And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God. 

ONE NEW MAN IN CONTRAST WITH THE OLD MAN

Ephesians 4:22 That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts; 

Ephesians 4:23 And be renewed in the spirit of your mind; 

Ephesians 4:24 And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.

 THE WRATH OF GOD COMETH ON THE CHILDREN OF DISOBEDIENCE

 

Ephesians 5:6 Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience.
