Key verses
Why Ephesians matters
Ephesians is Paul's most cosmic letter — the gospel framed not just as personal salvation but as the bringing of all things together under Christ's lordship. The first three chapters are dense theology; the last three are how it plays out in marriage, family, work, and spiritual warfare. The book ends with the armor of God passage.
