Ephesians Part 27 (Wonderful Work of Salvation)

INTRO: We are looking at the first reason Paul gives for praying for the Ephesian believers. We looked at the content of this reason; that God might give to them the spirit of wisdom and revelation. Then we looked at the means by which this was to come to them and that is that these come to us in the knowledge of God. It may well be that Paul was praying for these two things because he saw this church lacking in these things. If so, he knew also that the way they could receive these was to grow in their knowledge of God.

Now Paul will illustrate what happens when a person receives the Spirit of wisdom and revelation through knowing God. And so we want to look at the second purpose of Paul's prayers for the Ephesians.
