V13-14 tells us the Holy Spirit is given as a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance until our redemption....so 2 things, do we need to do v15 to 23 in order to be saved? And secondly, why does it seem the spirit is given before the redemption by Jesus’ death?
What does it mean when his says I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened
What is the 'Spirit of wisdom'? Is it just the wisdom that the Holy Spirit gives?
Is the spirit of wisdom and revelation in v17 the Holy Spirit? If not, why do people talk about growing in the Holy Spirit?
Can Raj please explain more what is ‘the riches of his glorious inheritance in his holy people’? Is it just perfect fellowship with one another? And why should I long for it?
v22-23 says (I think) that the church is the fullness of Jesus who fills everything in every way. Can you explain what this means?
In Ephesians 1:23, what does the fullness of Christ mean
Is it possible for a Christian to "crash"/lose their Salvation if salvation is by grace and faith alone.
We've got Ephesians 1-6....Are we going to get Ephesians 7,8,9 in the future?
Are Christians in the majority? "Rebels" of Grace... Should we consider ourselves as the minority now?
If God's destination is to bring all things to Christ, what about non-Christians? (all questions from the same person).
What did Raj mean by saying the destination for everyone is Jesus Christ? Because isn’t the destination for some people is hell (Jesus won’t be in hell right)?
Love in action in Ephesus would have crossed impermeable social boundaries (see also later in the letter). What does this look like for us in our situation and culture (or ways they are similar)?CL.loc.vcf
Is there a regular prayer meeting to ask the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, to give us the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that we may know him better?
Raj, in your talk you challenged us with a question on what we can do better. In your 35 days with us, is there anything you have noticed in your early stages that we as a church can practically work on doing better, on top of knowing God better?
Sometimes we strive to grow in the knowledge and we start to become knowledge focused (legalistic) and forget to have personal relationship with God like the Pharisees, how can we have a good balance and not fall into that trap?
