Through attempting to live a transformed life by the power of the Holy Spirit, the church in Ephesus was immersed in an evil culture and surrounded by sin and pagan ways.  Discouraged believers needed a reminder of God's grace and love of the blessings they had in Jesus Christ, and of their commitment to holiness.   Written by the apostle Paul as a letter of encouragement and admonition.  Ephesians gives a refresher course in New Testament doctrine and provides a practical blueprint for Christian behavior.  Through this letter, Paul shows us our continual need for God's help and demonstrates that everything good we enjoy is an expression of His great love.   The Mac Arthur Study Guide Series provides a twelve week, verse-by-verse examination of the books of the New Testament.  This revised and updated series continues to be one of the best-selling study guides currently available for individuals or small groups.   Features Include: Twelve week study Thought-provoking questions Verse-by-verse commentary Space provided for note-taking
