因着以弗所书把我们带到诸天界里，所以我们不该专注于自己的光景；反之，我们该在诸天界里─二6。

God has made "known to us the mystery of His will according to His good pleasure, which He purposed in Himself"—1:9:
一
在永远里神计划了一个意愿，因着这意愿是隐藏在祂里面的，所以是个奥秘─5，11节，五17。
In eternity God planned a will; because this will was hidden in Him, it was a mystery—vv. 5, 11; 5:17.

神自己是祂永远定旨的起始、来源和范围；没有什么能推翻祂的定旨，万有都为这定旨效力，神也从不与人商议这定旨─11节，三11。
God Himself is the initiation, the origination, and the sphere of His eternal purpose, which nothing can overthrow, for which everything is working, and regarding which He did not take counsel with anyone—v. 11; 3:11.

以弗所书极重要的中心点，乃是神圣三一的神圣分赐，为着产生并建造召会作基督的身体：

一章揭示父神如何在永远里拣选并预定这些肢体，子神如何救赎他们，灵神如何作凭质印他们，借此将祂自己分赐到祂的信徒里面，以形成召会，就是基督的身体，那在万有中充满万有者的丰满─3~14，18~23节：
Chapter 1 unveils how God the Father chose and predestinated the members in eternity, God the Son redeemed them, and God the Spirit sealed them as a pledge, thus imparting Himself into His believers for the formation of the church, which is the Body of Christ, the fullness of the One who fills all in all— vv. 3-14, 18-23:

主恢复里基本的真理就是，三一神─父、子、灵─借着父的预定、子的救赎、和灵的印涂与作质，将祂自己作到我们里面。

二章给我们看见，在神圣的三一里，所有犹太和外邦的信徒，都借着子神，在灵神里，得以进到父神面前─18节：

１
借着子神，祂是完成者，是凭借；在灵神里，祂是执行者，是应用；我们得以进到父神面前，祂是起源，是我们享受的源头。
Through God the Son, who is the Accomplisher, the means, and in God the Spirit, who is the Executor, the application, we have access unto God the Father, who is the Originator, the source of our enjoyment.

在三章，使徒祷告父神，叫信徒借着灵神，得以加强到里面的人里，使基督（子神）安家在他们心里，使他们被充满成为神一切的丰满，就是召会作基督的身体─6，16~19节：
In chapter 3 the apostle prays that God the Father will grant the believers to be strengthened through God the Spirit into their inner man so that Christ, God the Son, may make His home in their hearts, that they may be filled unto all the fullness of God, the church as the Body of Christ—vv. 6, 16-19:

２
这些经节启示四个人位─一个身体、一位灵、一位主、和一位父神─调和在一起成为一个实体，成为基督生机的身体；因此，三一神和身体乃是四而一。
These verses reveal four persons—one Body, one Spirit, one Lord, and one God the Father—mingled together as one entity to be the organic Body of Christ; thus, the Triune God and the Body are four-in-one.
