Ephesians 1:1-2 “Greeting” (2/22/26)

Ephesians 1:1-2 serves as the opening greeting of Paul's letter, where he identifies himself as an apostle of Christ Jesus appointed by God's will and addresses the recipients as God's holy people (saints) in Ephesus who are faithful in Christ Jesus.He then extends a blessing of grace and peace to them from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ, setting a tone of divine favor and reconciliation that will unfold throughout the epistle's profound teachings on spiritual blessings and the church's identity in Christ.
