All the saints = love of the brethren (1Jn 3:14). How do we know their love was supernatural? they had love for ALL.What is agape love? Unconditional sacrificial love which is the love that that God is and so describes a divine love, a love which is commanded by God, empowered by His Spirit, activated by personal choice of our will, not based on our feelings toward the object of our love and manifested by specific actions.How could others see their "faith?" clearly their works, specifically love (Faith is an action word) Cf 1Th 1:3.How did Paul hear about "the faith"? (Where is he? 800+ miles from Ephesus imprisoned.) - He could still have visitors (Acts 28:30).How does Paul divide up the 6 chapters? Doctrine/duty (What you believe is critical in regard to how you behave!).What was Paul's response after mention of each person of the Trinity? praise to His glory (of His grace) (Eph 1:6, 12, 14).How did you see the Trinity at work in these blessings? Father elected, Son redeemed, Spirit sealed.Don't forget grace! "the riches of His grace which He freely bestowed on us in the Beloved", "lavished on us") (Eph 1:6, 7, 8) What were these spiritual blessings? recall as many as you can (and associate them with the respective member of the Godhead if you can).The most reasonable association is the summary of "every spiritual blessing" in the incredible sentence in Eph 1:3-14. Phrases like "for this reason" always beg the question of "For what reason?" This forces you to examine the previous context. " For this reason" =a term of conclusion.
