Sent out on a public mailing list. Edited slightly. Awesome list - though I guess the author couldn't find a Z word in the book of Ephesians (there is only 1 "z" in the whole book - in the word, fellowcitizens).
ABC's of the Book of Ephesians
By Paul Henderson
The Epistle to the Ephesians is of the richest mines of the New Testament, and there we find many precious jewels of blessing. The Gospel of God is full of unlimited supplies for all things that pertain to life and godliness. We can only indicate what some of these blessings are by the following alphabetical list. Each one of these is found in connection with the Greek preposition "in."
ACCEPTANCE -- "Accepted in the Beloved" (1:6).
BLESSING -- "Blessed us with all spiritual blessings... in Christ" (1:3).
CHOSEN -- "He hath chosen us in Him" (1:4).
DWELLING -- "Christ may dwell in your hearts" (3:17).
EDIFYING -- "For the edifying of the body of Christ" (4:12, 16, 29).
FILLING -- "Be filled with the Spirit" (5:18).
GROWTH -- "Groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord" (2:21).
HYMNS & HEART -- "Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord" (5:19).
