In this episode, we continue the audiobook series of A Short Introduction to the Epistles of Paul the Apostle by W. Kelly with the chapter on Ephesians.
This chapter highlights Ephesians as one of Paul’s highest and most comprehensive doctrinal letters. Unlike epistles written to address specific failures or disputes, Ephesians unfolds the eternal purposes of God in Christ, focusing on the believer’s position, blessings, and unity in the body of Christ.
Kelly explains how Ephesians reveals the church not as a local assembly, but as the one body of Christ, chosen in Him before the foundation of the world and blessed with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places.
In this chapter, you will hear about:
The distinctive character and scope of the Epistle to the Ephesians
God’s eternal purpose in Christ
The believer’s position, inheritance, and calling
The unity of the body of Christ and life flowing from doctrine
This reading is part of an ongoing audiobook series covering the epistles of Paul in order. Additional chapters will be released as the series continues.
