I read and studied this book along with others in my Sunday-School class. There has been some profound discussion that took us beyond the scope of the book. This book initiated dialogue prompting meaningful application for all of us.
I found that this study got us to focus on the Apostle Paul’s intent for his readers: edification of the body of Christ through application of spiritual gifts in mutual submission according to God-given roles. The book of Ephesians in my opinion urges the believer to “put off the old man” and “put on the new” by setting aside bitterness and wrath- all evil, but rather by being “imitators of God” being kind, tenderhearted, forgiving one another as Christ has forgiven us (4:25-5:1)
