IN THE FELLOWSHIP OF THE KING

A Study in 2nd and 3rd John
In the epistles of John we see a common theme of a fellowship shared by believers and the Lord. This fellowship is forged in conflict, against dark and sinister forces, as faith is tested and refined. The touchstone of the fellowship is found in the truth, and that truth centers in the glorious person and work of the Lord Jesus Christ. To hold to this truth against all odds, all deception, and all temptation is to win a place among the ranks of those who value the fellowship of the King. It is an old story.

This compilation of notes represents the truths found in the Epistles of Second and Third John.

Ephesians #10

Eph 2:8-10 Salvation is deliverance. We need daily deliverance (Jam 1:21, Rom 7:24) "the word is able to save your souls". Salvation is entirely initiated by God "by Grace" (Eph 1:4, Eph 2:8). "By Grace you have been saved...". Mercy paves the way for Grace. GRACE = "God's Riches At Christ's Expense". "... through faith..." Salvation is secured through Jesus Christ. He took the hostility for us (1Jo 3:8, Heb 2:9, 2Co 5:21). A spiritual transition took place at salvation (1Col 1:12-13, Co1 15:22, Joh 3:7). Salvation (righteousness) is given by God and received (peace) by faith (Psa 85:9-13, Joh 1:10). Salvation is a free gift "...and that not of yourself; it is a gift of God..." (Rom 6:23, Rom 3:24, Joh 1:12, Jam 1:17). "...not of works, lest any one should boast" means there's nothing we can do to earn it (Rom 4:5). Salvation empowers us to do good works (Eph 1:10). We are God's masterpiece;"...created in Christ Jesus..." (Tit 3:5, Mat 19:28, 2Co 5:17). God's goal having created us is good works (not things we do -- things God does). Walking means walk of dependence (Rom 8:4, Gal 5:16), by faith (2Co 5:7), in good works (Eph 2:10), walking worthy (Eph 4:1), and in the sphere of love (Eph 5:1), as children of light (Eph 5:8), and in wisdom (Eph 5:15-18).

More than any book Ephesians reveals the blessings from God based on our relationship with Jesus Christ by grace through faith. Eph 1:3 is the a key verse. Other key verses by chapter include Eph 2:8 Eph 3:19 Eph 4:1 Eph 5:18 and Eph 6:10-11.
