The chapter explores the book of Ephesians and the author's deep love for the Lord. It discusses the development of the Come, Follow Me program and how it focuses on deep conversion and getting the gospel into the hearts of the saints. The chapter also includes a humorous anecdote about receiving homework from an apostle.
How does conversion rely upon revelation and revelators? Dr. Matthew Richardson examines Paul’s letter to the Ephesians, discusses conversion, and how God reveals mysteries through revelation to His children.
