(Eph 1:3-4)We continue in our exegesis of Ephesians. The Greek phrase just as is kathos = even as, in conformity with the fact. His blessings in verse 3 are in conformity with divine election.

This is focused on believers since the unbeliever has but one directive from God – believe on the Lord Jesus and be saved. We will break up the directive will of God into seven categories.1. It is the will of God that every member of the human race be born again.2. It is the will of God that all believers be experientially sanctified.3. It is the will of God that all believers be controlled (filled) with the Holy Spirit.4. It is the will of god that we give thanks in everything.5. It is the will of God...

Part 2 One has to be alert because like all forms of false lapsarianism, as as is often the cast there is some truth mixed with the error. They are all a distortion and therefore a heresy.
