One of the main themes seen throughout the letter is the idea of spiritual maturity. In Ephesians 1:17-19, Paul offers an intercessory prayer that the church in Ephesus would receive “a spirit of wisdom and of revelation of the knowledge of [God]” and “enlightened” “eyes of [their] hearts.
“Open the Eyes of My Heart, Lord
Open the eyes of my heart, Lord.
Open the eyes of my heart.
I want to see You.
I want to see You.
To see You high and lifted up
Shining’ in the light of Your glory
Pour out Your power and love
As we sing holy, holy, holy”(Ephesians 1:17-19)

In chapters 2 and 3, Paul speaks to the foundations that make spiritual growth possible. In 2:19-22, Paul describes the church made up of Jew and Gentile being “built [upon] the foundation of the apostles and prophets [with] Christ [as] the cornerstone.” In 3:14-19, Paul again prays for the church in Ephesus to receive “knowledge” while being “rooted and grounded in [Christ’s] love.”
The theme of maturity is most clearly seen in Ephesians 4:1-16. Paul describes the gifts that God has given the church “to equip the saints for ministry” and “to [build] up the body of Christ” so that all can become spiritually mature (11-13). Paul calls the church in Ephesus to have a grown-up faith, like Jesus (14-16). In Ephesians 5:1-2, Paul implores the church to “be imitators of God” and to “walk in love” in Christ’s example. Finally in Ephesians 6:10-17, Paul commands the church to “put on the full Armor of God” which will help them to stand strong in their faith against spiritual attack. We need to have Christian maturity and serve the Lord; Child of God make spiritual maturity your focus. Don’t live on prayers of others and faith of others, build your faith in the lord. Shalom
