The ONE Thing God Is After in You: Understanding Your True Identity in Christ
If you carry a constant headache of guilt and inadequacy in your faith, it’s time to stop trying to be the “Lone Christian”. The Bible teaches that the Christian life simply cannot be lived individually, and as an isolated believer, you are “bound to fail”. In this profound message on the Book of Ephesians, Gene Edwards insists we must embrace a radical shift: seeing ourselves not as individuals, but as one single person, corporately, a redeemed people. The book of Ephesians, with its dense, chaotic truths, demands a “spirit of revelation” to grasp this shared reality and our ownership over “eternity in past times”. Discover the deliverance that is found only in being the body of Christ, and lay hold of your collective inheritance that “transcends space and time”.

Mystery—how many times did you get mystery in chapter one? I got it once.
Purposed—how many times did you get purposed? Anybody?
Administration- It’s a word that is absolutely impossible to translate. I’ve been pulling my hair out over it since I was 17. That’s why I don’t have any hair.
Household? It says household? Am I hearing? It’s in German? Household? Administration. Hmm. Martin Luther wasn’t a very good translator.
The fullness of time, I got once.
Summing up once. These appear in the next one.
Earth once.
Inheritance twice. I got your inheritance twice. And His inheritance three times, excuse me, which is a total of five, by the way. I want you to pay attention to that. There are two inheritances in chapter one: yours and His.
Salvation once.
You might have gotten the word saint twice. I got the word holy ones twice. Same word. Any more or less than that?
Sealed once.
Holy Spirit once, which is rather surprising, is it not?
