6. Chapter Contents
The apostle sets forth his office, and his qualifications
for it, and his call to it. (1-7)
Also the noble purposes answered by it. (8-12)
He prays for the Ephesians. (13-19)
And adds a thanksgiving. (20,21)
9. It is proper always to end prayers with
praises. Let us expect more, and ask for more,
encouraged by what Christ has already done
for our souls, being assured that the
conversion of sinners, and the comfort of
believers, will be to his glory, for ever and
ever.
Ephesians 3:20-21
10. We cannot by our own efforts, “save the earth.”
Only God, who is the Creator, Sustainer and
Redeemer of all creation, can do that. But as
Christians, we are expected to join God in that
good work. In our homes, at our places of
work, in our times of recreation, and in our
congregations, we can begin to model that kind
of love and care for the earth that God has for
us and for all creation.
Colossians 1:15-20
