These books are written from the perspective or point of view of the sinner.  One book in the New Testament however, uniquely takes God&#8217;s perspective, God&#8217;s view &#8211; and that book is Ephesians.  Because of this very fact, many scholars consider this book to be the highest of all in Scripture.  What this book reveals primarily is the church &#8211; the church not as an organization, a society or a school but as the center and focus of God&#8217;s eternal purpose.  God desires us to see the church and to value the church as He does.  But in order to do so, we need to climb up to that same vantage point and view the church from the heavenlies as God does.<\/p>\n<div itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/AudioObject\"><meta itemprop=\"name\" content=\"Ephesians (Program #1)\" \/><meta itemprop=\"uploadDate\" content=\"2024-08-02T06:20:58-05:00\" \/><meta itemprop=\"encodingFormat\" content=\"audio\/mpeg\" \/><meta itemprop=\"description\" content=\"Ephesians (Program #1) - Introductory Word to the Book of Ephesians (1)\r\n\r\nMany books in the New Testament deal with practical issues associated with sinful fallen man with his struggle with problems, failures and difficulties.
