The glories of Ephesians

I'm berginning what I believe will be about a year-long study of the letter to the Ephesians. At the beginning I am intrigued by something thatD. Martyn Lloyd-Jones said about Ephesians. His comment is that, at least the first 3 chapters of the letter represent salvation from a heavenly perspective. We are not looking up at God and figuring salvation from a human perspective but rather Paul puts us in the place of God, being able to look down from heaven and see all that salvation entails, from predestination to cleansing of sin to being sealed by the Holy Spirit.

It's been a long time since I've done any tyupe of study of Ephesians and I am ready to go golddigging for the next few months.
