  2. Outline of Ephesians All spiritual blessings are from God and available to man “in Christ” (1:3, Chapters 1 - 3) God showed his favor toward man, He gave his Son to purchase the forgiveness of our sins, and He provided a plan for our salvation and fellowship with Him. Walk worthy of your calling (4:1, Chapters 4 - 6) Because of what God has done for us, and because of the great price that was paid for our sins and the great benefit we have as Christians, we must follow God as children, living as our Father instructs us.
