"Ephesians"

I am intrigued by the order that Paul put things in. The book of Ephesians
is an Epistle that was written to the Church in Ephesian. After the prayer
for the Ephesians he begins with unity in the Body of Christ and then
begins teaching how to live as children of Light. He started off with
Prayer and then glorified God with the Church that is the Body of Christ.
Next there are instructions for the people. Wives and Husbands, then the
children and then slaves and masters. The real kicker here is that it then
goes into how to protect yourself from evil in your day to day walk with
the Armor of God and he closes the letter. Paul was trying to get a point
across that we need to seek God first and work on ourselves and the way we
are and the only way for us to be successful is by putting on the Armor of
God daily. I recognize that I cannot do this on my own and that I need God
in my life in order to live a successful life here on earth. This in turn
prepares me for my eternal life with Jesus in His Kingdom. How are you
doing?
