King Solomon has shared his disillusionment in seeking satisfaction in life apart from the presence of God. He has explored nature, philosophy, pleasure, materialism and religion.

The church in Ephesus was in many ways the apex of Paul's ministry. The letter Paul wrote to the church sets forth God's revelation of the church as an organism and the part churches would play in the accomplishment of God's purposes for the earth. God has blessed all believers "with every spiritual blessing in heavenly places in Christ" (1:3). The believers' opportunity and obligation are to discover "what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints" (1:18). In verses 1-14 of the first chapter, Paul sets forth the riches of God's grace. In verses 13-15, Paul prays that we will discover them.
