Why does Paul emphasize salvation of all mankind in this letter? What does this suggest about the practice of evengelism in the Ephesian church? To remind the church that should be looking out at the unsaved and drawing them in regardless of who they may be. This is an ongoing reminder to all the church as it is so easy to reach a point when we think we have made it, but of course, we never will. God longs for all to hear the gospel and be saved - we are commissioned in Matthew 28 to go and make disciples of all people. Paul's admonishment to the Ephasian church suggests that they were only preaching to themselves, a dangerous place to get to because, if they are not careful, such a church will forget God and run with their own agenda.

Hi My name is Marilyn. I live in Derbyshire, England. I am looking forward to this Bible study as it will help me to re-focus on the Word of God after 6 years studying for a degree. I am 63 and have had a personal relationship with the Lord for 20 years. I help lead the Bible study for our church. I look forward to any discussion we may have, bless you all. Warmest wishes ~ Marilyn
