There is a lot of rich theology here, it's hard for me to do justice to it in one post.
I started my outline:
- ch 1, v 3-6 predestined to be sons
- v 7-12 redemption, forgiveness, united, inheritance
- 13-14 the Gospel, the Holy Spirit is our guarantee
- 15-23 Paul's reaction - thanks and prayer
- 2:1-3 we were dead in sin (shown in Christ)
- 4-10 but God saved us by grace
- 11-19 Gentiles and Jews brought together in Christ
- 20-22 foundation of the apostles, we are built together in Christ
- 3:1-21 the mystery of the Gospel revealed for all through the apostles
- 4:1-32, 5:1-33, 6:1-9 our new life in Christ
