The apostle Paul, writing from a Roman prison, intended that all who long for Christlike maturity would receive this writing – this letter that he composed for the believers in the city of Ephesus, in Asia Minor. Enclosed within the Book of Ephesians is the discipline needed to develop into true children of God.
