The Epistle of Paul the Apostle to the Ephesians, written about A.D. 62, seems to be a general letter to the churches of Asia Minor. Paul presents God’s eternal purpose to save men through faith in Christ; “the dividing wall of hostility” between Jews and Gentiles has been broken down through the cross of Christ. Paul extols us to live as worthy, true Christians.

Ephesians 2

2:3 Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others.
