Ephesians is powerful spiritual fuel for every believer! Beginning with the great, heart-warming teaching of the opening chapters, Paul presents the riches the Christian has in the Lord Jesus Christ.Here are inexhaustible 'heights of love and depths of peace.' But in addition to rich doctrine this letter has an immensely practical dimension. If you want to know how to live in the twenty-first century world with all its confusing views of truth and reality, Ephesians is the place to go. Stuart Olyott writes with his usual clarity, enabling both the new believer and the more mature Christian to find spiritual refreshment from this sparkling jewel of the New Testament.
There isn't a Welwyn commentary I have read that I did not find profitable and Stuart Olyott is one of their best writers. In his preface, Mr. Olyott says, " When a Christian begins to understand Paul's epistle to the Ephesians, something wonderful happens to his spiritual life." I think this book and the Holy Spirit did just that for me . Through re reading Ephesians prayerfully and studying Stuart Olyott's comments , my faith, which seemed to be smoldering, has been turned into a burning flame again! The title, Alive In Christ, is perfect! I am alive in Christ . I can pray with expectation, I can love my brethren and seek unity in the church local and universal, I can fight the battle of the Christian life and win when I put on my armor because I have Christ and He will help me do these things required of me. I highly recommend this little commentary. Now to continue in the study of Ephesians with Matthew Henry and Martyn Lloyd Jones!
