The Book of Ephesians Explained: The Blueprint for Spiritual Warfare

#ephesians #spiritualwarfare #biblestudy The book of Ephesians explained gave me a spiritual warfare blueprint I didn't expect to need. I opened my Bible on a rough morning, looking for one daily bible verse to get me through, and ended up in bible study I couldn't put down. Ephesians felt different from Genesis or anything else in the New Testament - not just scripture, or scripture explained, but bible explained in a way that finally reached my faith in god and steadied my faith. I found Christian identity, Christian life, and Christian discipleship laid out plain, salvation and the gospel tied to real prayer, church, and early church history I'd missed. Jesus Christ became someone I trusted, through the heavenly realms and theology behind it. This became my bible verse for hard nights, even bible verses for sleep when worry crept in, and my own biblical studies and biblical interpretation of Christianity started here.
