Main point summary
Paul is able to speak blessings of grace and peace over the saints in Ephesus because of the Gospel. Paul worships God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ because through Christ we have received every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places—namely adoption into His family. Like Paul demonstrates, we should be reminded of and receive these blessings and in response praise God for His glorious grace.
