Ephesians Part 10 (Wonderful Work of Salvation)

Intro: Let me say something here about the slowness by which we are going through Ephesians. We are not only learning to understand Paul's letter to the Ephesians. We are learning many concepts in Ephesians that open large windows into other Scriptures. Now you may question whether we are spending too much time on some areas. Last summer an event took place in our own town, that if I had known this could even possibly be questioned by our own people I would spent even more time on one topic we have covered already. But when I heard of this, I was glad I had given the topic as much time as I did because I don't think anyone from here would be open to the same error. Then I was encouraged again to be thorough.

This morning we are going to deal with election. Now I had a problem in preparation for this message. It is how to do a sufficient job of it in one message. So I encourage you this morning to not pay so much attention with the speed at which we are proceeding but at the comprehension achieved when we are through. What is the use of working through this letter and not understand many of the concepts dealt with? If we will concentrate on the subject matter and not on the speed with which we are moving, we will learn well. And when we are done you will understand to some depth, not only Ephesians, but many other sections of Scripture.
