IN CHRIST JESUS
Ephesians 1:1-2

The Faithful, who are at Ephesus:
High in the mind of Paul is "The Faithful." Textual scholars indicate that the words "at Ephesus," are not in all of the most ancient manuscripts. However this has never been a matter of contention. The importance and canonicity of the letter has never been questioned because of this anomaly. This letter is clearly "to the Faithful," no matter whether it was addressed locally, to the Ephesian Church, or as a cyclical letter to the churches of the Roman province of Asia, where Ephesus was the "mother" church.

The key element to remember is "The Faithful." This term was mostly used during New Testament times to denote those who had undergone the ritual of baptism, in the name of Jesus Christ. When we describe God as faithful we speak of His character being worthy of the love and confidence of men and women, and the assurance of His fulfilled promises. If we turn that description around to describe the faithfulness of men and women, then God would find faithful those who are worthy of His love and confidence based upon their simple saving faith in His beloved Son, Jesus Christ. Also involved would be the complicated elements of the perseverance of the saints and the performance of God's commandments.

God declares Himself to be faithful. With men and women it is quite a different story. God proclaims the believer as "faithful," based on the finished work of His Son, Jesus. We see faithfulness as a matter of performance because we are temporal and not infinite, earthly not heavenly. We are creatures who's definition of faithfulness seems to be caught up in action, but we need to learn balance. We need to learn that God proclaims the believer "faithful" based upon their relationship to His Son, and that the performance of the Will of God in our daily lives is our direct responsibility. The word of God teaches both so we must believe both. It is hard to understand how it can be both, but unless we find that very special balance we will veer off into some cultic expression of faith. We would become either legalistic; a salvation and life based upon works, or liberalistic; a salvation and life based on "cheap grace."

God proclaims us faithful if we are in His Son Jesus. In response to this proclamation, we must walk in faith responding to His love with faithful actions.

One of Paul's major thrusts in the book concerns being "in" something. He refers to being "in Christ," "in the saints," or "in all power and wisdom." One technique that will help us to understand these concepts is to try to make language three dimensional in our minds. Take a moment and look at the diagram about prepositions on the graphic that accompanies this study. This diagram tries to visualize the relative placement of situations that prepositions describe.

When someone says, "Take him away from here," visualize the distance involved in "away from here." When someone says, "Stand beside me," visualize "beside me," etc. With these two examples under your belt, now try to visualize, "I was in the car." Can you picture yourself "in" a car? Now think about all the ramifications of being "in" a car (The space within, the features inside, the accessories, the controls, etc.). Now, take it a step further and think about the laws of physics that are effective on a car, that is, acceleration, friction, and gravity. Then, consider the laws of the state that are in effect, that is, speed laws, courtesy laws, safety laws, etc. Now being in a car is becoming a complicated affair, much more than just our original thought of sitting in a car. So is the biblical concept of being "in" something. Paul introduced the Ephesians to the concept of being "in Christ." A concept that at first may seem simple, but in reality is quite elaborate and complex. Being "in Christ," entails all the rights, laws, benefits, responsibilities, and inheritances of Jesus Christ. When we are "in Him," we share in every aspect of Him.

It also should be noted that Paul took this idea of being "in Christ" to an even greater level of understanding. It was so very important to Paul that the Ephesians understand that their position was to be into Christ, and not to return to a position that was into the nation of Israel.

Take some time and try and visualize the prepositions on the chart on the last page of this volume, and consider possible meanings and ramifications of these words in a relationship to Jesus Christ (i.e., "in Him," "through Him," "to Him," "before Him," etc.). This could be one of the most important concepts to know in understanding the book of Ephesians. The preposition "in" is used more than 120 times in Ephesians alone. "In" is the most used word in this book, and thus, it becomes one of the most important words to study.
