Why? I’ll let the Book of Ephesians explain.

 I am blessed with every spiritual blessing.  1:3-14.  I’ve been chosen, adopted, accepted, redeemed, forgiven and sealed.  What was previously a mystery has been revealed to me—the plan for MY salvation.  I’m in line for the most wonderful inheritance the heart could imagine.  And that’s a far cry from my previous condition—2:12.

 I have access to the exceeding greatness of God’s power.  It’s only through Christ that I have this access. 1:19; 2:17-18; 3:  It’s the same power God used to raise Christ from the dead. 1: And me from the dead. 2:1, 4-6.

 I have access to the exceeding greatness of God’s power.  And it’s still available to me. 3: The power of the cross (4:32; 5:2; 5:25). The power of the gospel. The power of prayer.  6:10-20—Anything left out?

 Christ rules over all things, and He does so for MY benefit.  1: Compare to Colossians 1:18.  Everything is at His disposal to take care of ME! 5:25-29.

 I’ve been given the opportunity (and responsibility) to show others the grace, wisdom, power, and glory of God.  Notice the design of God’s eternal plan— 1:6, 12, 14.  Here’s what He wants to show others through ME—2:7; 3:8-10; 3:20-21.
