1. Ephesians 1:1 (ESV)
  2. Application

You either are in Christ or you trust in false hope

Ephesians 1:1 (ESV)

1 Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God,To the saints who are in Ephesus, and are faithful in Christ Jesus:

You either are in Christ or you are not. It raises some objective questions. Whose lordship do you profess? Whose salvation do you trust? In whose righteousness will you stand before God? You see, you are either in Christ, or you are trusting in something else, someone else, some false hope that will fail you.1
