Ephesians

Paul's letter to the Ephesians, written during his imprisonment in Rome around A.D. 59-62, focuses on the unity of believers in Christ and serves as a warning against false teachers. After spending three years in Ephesus, Paul aims to strengthen the church's love for Christ and emphasize key doctrines. The epistle covers themes such as predestination, social responsibilities, and the armor of God, providing guidance for both personal and communal faith. It highlights the importance of unity among diverse groups, including Jews, Gentiles, and families.
