In this chapter, we have the opening of the whole letter, which is much the same as in Paul’s other letters (Ephesians 1:1-2). We also have the apostle Paul’s thanks and praise to God for the great blessings given to the believers in Ephesus (Ephesians 1:3-14). Then we have his earnest prayers to God on their behalf (Ephesians 1:15-23).
This great apostle often overflowed with prayer and thanksgiving to Almighty God. He usually arranged his prayers so that they also carried the main truths of the Christian faith and gave serious instruction to all who read them carefully.
