The theologian John Mackay once described the book of Ephesians as “the distilled essence of the Christian religion, the most authoritative and most consummate compendium of our holy Christian faith.” Writing to a church facing timeless challenges, the apostle Paul set out to remind his readers of all that God has accomplished for us in Christ—and what we then do and become in response. Throughout history, the resulting six chapters have brought countless people to an understanding of their place in the purposes of God and the wonders of His grace and peace.
In volume seven of this series, Alistair Begg considers the implications of Paul’s instruction to “put on the new self, created after the likeness of God in true righteousness and holiness.” Being united with Christ transforms us, further conforming us into His likeness as time goes by. As we embrace this new identity, we attest to the reality of God’s gracious redemption.
