Who Is God?

In this article, David Powlison addresses the question, who is God in Ephesians? Powlison maintains that the book ought to produce a personal encounter with the Lord—He is the Person on whom we rely, who teaches us to speak directly into other people’s lives and always connects change to what God Himself is doing. Powlison presents 8 things God reveals: He makes Himself known to us in Christ; He accomplishes His purposes; He lavishes grace; His power works in us; Christ invades history; He will bring wrath on those outside Christ; He indwells us through the Holy Spirit and God and His children will inherit each other.
