'Book of Ephesians' Bible Lessons New International Version
LESSON No.1 ~ NIV
In the Book of Ephesians we learn that the Holy Spirit has been given to us as the guarantee to all the promises of God. The Holy Spirit is God’s promise that He will give you everything that He has promised and also that He has purchased us to be His own children. Armed in the power of the Holy Spirit, we can stand firm and united in Christ against the enemy in times of evil. The Lord has surely done great things for us
