Ephesian 1:15-23In my passage Ephesian 1:15-23, it is Paul's prayer to Jesus to give thanks, God has given us so much, and when God gives us a lot, our perception can be changed depending on what we receive from God, but we are blind because we can never be satisfied, so we ask for more. We can build a wall of ingratitude and never see the “light of God.” The main message of this passage is that whatever He calls us to do, we will do, and hope for the best, to experience the riches of His glory. , and feel its almighty power. But be grateful for all He has done for us. In the passage, it is easy to understand that Paul is praying/asking for “a Spirit of wisdom and revelation, that you may know him better.” » (Olivier ESV Ephesians 1:17) Thus, Paul can know himself better. He also asked to “have the eyes of your heart enlightened” (Olivier ESV Ephesians 1:18). This verse means to flood us with light, because God is light, and these lights come on, we can see something that we have. seemed to be missing before our switches were flipped. Paul asks God for overflowing knowledge. The major themes I noticed in this passage are “hope,” “legacy,” and “power.” The main idea of ​​this letter is to show our gratitude towards what God gives us in this life. The historical cultural situation of the writer and his audience is that at this time Paul is preaching in Ephesus, and the audience is mostly Gentiles. Paul's original name was Saul, and he was an apostle who spoke the gospel of God to the 1st century audience/world. is very undefined, but most have found that it may have been Paul, and few people say that it was a disciple of Paul. Its origins were personally chosen by God, the best post...... middle of paper ......
