Paul was the preacher to the Gentiles.  He confirmed that through the gospel, the Gentiles are heirs together with Israel, members together of one body and sharers together in the promise in Christ Jesus. (v. 6).  In Him and through faith in Him, we may approach God with freedom and confidence (v. 12)

Prayer for the Ephesian Church:

  1. God will strengthen them with power through His Spirit in their inner being so that Christ may dwell in their hearts through faith (vs. 16-19)
  2. They will be rooted and established in Love (v. 17)
  3. They may have the power to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ ()v. 18)
  4. They may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God (v. 19)
