Efesios 3:15 Meaning and Commentary

Ephesians 3:15

Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named.
] This may refer either to God, the Father of Christ; who is the Father of the whole family in heaven and in earth; not only the Father of Christ, but the Father of spirits, of angelic spirits, as well as of the souls of men; and the Father of all the saints by adopting grace, whether above or below; they are all the household of God: or else to Jesus Christ, who is the everlasting Father, the Son over his own house, and the firstborn among many brethren: and this family consists either of elect angels and elect men, who are both under one head, Christ, and are in one family, only with this difference, the one are servants, the other sons; or else only of elect men, of saints in heaven and in earth, who all make up but one family; and that part of it, which is on earth, consists of persons of various sizes and growth, as fathers, young men, and children, though they are all the children of God, and partake of the same privileges: and this family is named of Christ; they are called Christians from him, and he is the master and governor of them; they have their laws, directions, and instructions from him; and he is the great provider for them, and the support of them; they have their food and clothing from him, as well as are called by his name. Frequent mention is made in the Jewish writings ^F15 of the family of the holy angels, and of the family above, and the family below, to which here may be some reference.

Efesios 3:15 In-Context

13 Por eso les ruego que no se desanimen a causa de mis pruebas en este lugar. Mi sufrimiento es por ustedes, así que deberían sentirse honrados.

14 Pablo ora por crecimiento espiritual
Cuando pienso en todo esto, caigo de rodillas y elevo una oración al Padre,

15 el Creador de todo lo que existe en el cielo y en la tierra.

16 Pido en oración que, de sus gloriosos e inagotables recursos, los fortalezca con poder en el ser interior por medio de su Espíritu.

17 Entonces Cristo habitará en el corazón de ustedes a medida que confíen en él. Echarán raíces profundas en el amor de Dios, y ellas los mantendrán fuertes.
