In trying to date the Apostle Paul's letter to the church in Ephesus, all one can do is try to determine when he got to Jerusalem at the end of his third Bible-recorded missionary journey and was arrested. He was the author of this letter to that church because he followed his normal procedure of identifying himself. In Ephesians chapter one, he said that he was the author, and there is no reason to believe that he was not. So while it might be difficult to know the exact date that he wrote this letter, the best guess by Bible scholars is the early seventh decade of the First Century AD.

Because of his work in Proconsular Asia, where the churches in Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamon, Sardis, Philadelphia, Laodicea, and Colosse were located, this letter to the church in Ephesus was actually similar to his letter to the Colossian church. But the commonality between those two letters makes complete sense because all of those churches existed within the same part of the immoral Roman Empire.
To the Colossians, Paul said, in Colossians chapter two, to be established in the Faith. To the Ephesians, he said to be established and "rooted" in the Faith in Ephesians chapter three. In Colossians chapter two and Ephesians chapter one, he referenced the truth that Jesus is above the principalities and powers. But his mention of those things really shows that Jesus is over all powers in the heavens, as well as in the earth.

In Colossians chapter one and Ephesians chapter one, Paul said that Jesus has reconciled all things to Himself, including them. Also in Colossians chapter one, but this time in Ephesians chapter three, he identified his gift from the Lord as being called into the ministry.
In Colossians chapter two and Ephesians chapter four, he emphasized the importance of being wise and not falling for false teaching. Many false teachers were already in the Proconsular Asia area, particularly of the philosopher and Gnostic variety. So to both churches, Paul encouraged the people to grow up in the Lord. He advised them not to be so easily fooled by those who would teach vain deceits and false doctrines.

As a final word to the churches at Ephesus and Colosse, a problem, in that area only, was probably the telling of lies. So Paul also addressed that in his letter to this church.

But now, there is one note to be made before ending this introduction with respect to the organization of this text. Something that the reader might find useful, in the NON-AUDIO version of this text, is figures throughout that show the different passages that are referenced at the times and in the places where they are referenced.

That way, he or she will not have to jump all over the place or get into or out of the scriptures to locate a particular reference. Hopefully that inclusion will help the reader better understand the various events and to also put them into their right context. It is also hoped that that will make this book easier to read and that the Lord will receive the praise, honor, and glory that He rightfully deserves. Of course, in the AUDIO version of this text, those figures will NOT be used because that would make it an extremely difficult experience for listening to or for trying to understand.

Reseña del editor

The first part of this book begins with Paul's final days of freedom before being arrested in Jerusalem. The timeframe would have been at the end of his third Bible-recorded missionary journey. He had been returning to that area so that he could attend the upcoming celebration of Pentecost. He had also gone there to take some financial aid to the church in Jerusalem. While there, he had participated in a Nazarite ritual with four men that had taken a vow. Following that ritual, he had gone to the synagogue with those same four men. But as soon as some of the Jewish people from Asia had seen him, they immediately had accused him and had attacked him. Given the opportunity, they probably would have killed him right there on the spot. But the Roman chief captain in Jerusalem had intervened by taking him into custody. However, even though he had only been taken from the crowd for his own protection, Paul had then remained in custody for most of the next four or five years. While under Roman control, he had appeared before Procurator Felix, Procurator Festus, and King Agrippa. Then he had been sent to Rome to where he had appeared before Caesar Augustus. Towards the end of his imprisonment in Rome, he had written a letter to each of the three churches in Philippi, Colosse, and Ephesus, respectively. He had also written a letter to a man named Philemon. While the exact order of those letters is not known with absolute certainty, the best evidence will be presented to determine when he had probably written each one. Then, because of their similarities to each other, a comparison of his letters to the churches in Colosse and Ephesus will be shared. Once those matters have been handled, certain parts of Paul's specific letter to the church at Ephesus will be carefully examined. First, Ephesians 4:24-32 will be discussed as an introduction to Ephesians, chapter five. Then each verse of the fifth chapter will be considered. The fifth chapter is especially important because Paul had written in verses twenty-two and twenty-three that wives should be in submission to their husbands and that the husband is the head of the wife. Those verses have long been controversial with present day Christians. So it is important to put them into their correct context to understand EXACTLY what Paul had been saying and why he had been saying it. However, there is much more in the fifth chapter of his letter to that church than just what he had written about a wife being in submission. For example, in verses three through five, he had written about those people that will NOT inherit the kingdom of God. Does that mean that people REALLY are saved by their good works? Does it mean that they might possibly LOSE their salvation if they do certain bad things? Both of those questions MUST be and will be answered in this book. Paul had also written about a Christian's lifestyle and about Christians walking in the Spirit. Those topics will be discussed in this book. As was just indicated above, he had written about submission and Christian duty. So those topics will be discussed in some detail. Finally, he had compared the physical marriage between ONE man and ONE woman to the spiritual marriage between Christ and His church. So that, too, will be discussed. One can learn much from Ephesians, chapter five. Therefore, the goal of this book has been to explore as many of those things as possible.
