Ephesians: Greeting The Saints In Ephesus
The apostle Paul is greeting the saints in Ephesus in these first two verses reminding them that they are saints, redeemed by Christ. He speaks of their faithfulness in the short time they have been believers, and reminds them in his opening words of the grace and peace that they have with God, which is through the redemptive work of Christ on the Cross.
