Sermon Bible Commentary - Ephesians 1:5-10

Ephesians 1:5-10 The Final Restoration of all Things. There are several passages in the New Testament and this is one of them which make it clear that the Divine mercy is ultimately to achieve a complete triumph over misery and moral evil; and these passages, if they stand alone, might give us the impression that all who in any age, in any land, in any world, have erred and strayed from God are to be brought back by the Good Shepherd to the flock and to the fold. I. But this Epistle, like the... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Ephesians 1:7

Ephesians 1:7 (with Colossians 1:14 ) What we have in Christ Jesus is here indicated by two phrases or forms of expression, which explain and define one another. The redemption through His blood is the forgiveness of sins; the forgiveness of sins is the redemption through His blood. I. This limits the meaning of the term "redemption." It is restricted by the qualifying clause, "through His blood," and it is restricted also by the explanatory addition, "the forgiveness of sins." The... read more

C.I. Scofield

Scofield's Reference Notes - Ephesians 1:3

in heavenly places Literally, the heavenlies. The same Greek word is used in John 3:12 where "things" is added. In both places the word signifies that which is heavenly in contradistinction to that which is earthy. In Ephesians "places" is especially misleading. "The heavenlies" may be defined as the sphere of the believer's spiritual experience as identified with Christ in nature. 2 Peter 1:4; 2 Peter 1:4 life, ; Colossians 3:4; 1 John 5:12; 1 John 5:12 relationships ; John 20:17; Hebrews 2:11... read more

C.I. Scofield

Scofield's Reference Notes - Ephesians 1:5

predestinated Predestination is that effective exercise of the will of God by which things before determined by Him are brought to pass. See Election, (See Scofield " :-") Foreknowledge, (See Scofield " :-") adoption Adoption (huiothesia, "placing as a son") is not so much a word of relationship as of position. The believer's relation to God as a child results from the new birth John 1:12; John 1:13 whereas adoption is the act of God whereby one already a child is, through redemption from the... read more
