Ephesians 1981-82 Corps Teachings. Lesson 3: Structure of Ephesians. STRUCTURE OF EPHESIANS September 23, 1981 Every word in the Bible is important. But every word, like I taught you last week in the Corps, is not a key word. I gave you the key words that the Research Department submitted to me for the Book of Ephesians. I think I’ll explain that a little further. When I said key words in Ephesians, that doesn’t mean that every word is not a key word. Every word in the Word is very important in my mind and heart, and so in yours. Else you couldn’t have the Word, right? But by key words, we mean specifically unique to Ephesians or words that are used more times in Ephesians than in any other of the Church epistles. For instance, the word “unity” is not used in any other book or place in the Bible except Ephesians. And then last week I gave you those four great words of love, joy…no…love, grace, mercy and peace (I think, okay). It is significant that only three of those four are used in Ephesians (I knew this but it’s…you know, I forgot to tell you but that’s alright). Only three of those four are used. Mercy is never used in Ephesians, because in Ephesians, judgment is never a consideration. For you’ve already passed from death unto, what? {life.} That’s why that word is not used in Ephesians. That’s what we mean by key words. Tonight I want to give you the structure of Ephesians the Research Department has submitted, and I trust you know how to do structure.
