Ephesians:

Paul wrote this epistle to make Christians more aware of their position in Christ and to motivate them to draw upon their spiritual source in doily living: "walk worthy of the calling with which you were called" (4:1, see 2:'10). The first half of Ephesians lists the believer's heavenly possessions: adoption, redemption, inheritance, power, life, grace, citizenship, and the love of Christ.

In this Disciplinary letter, Paul is forced to exercise his apostolic authority as he deals firmly with problems of Divisiveness, immorality, lawsuits, selfishness,…

Romans:

The poet Samuel Taylor Coleridge regarded Romans as "the most profound book in existence,” and the commentator Godet called it "the cathedral of the Christian faith." Because of its majestic declaration of the divine plan of salvation, Martin Luther wrote: "This epistle is the chief port of the New Testament and the very purest gospel... lt can never be read or pondered too much, and the more it is dealt with the more precious it becomes, and the better it tastes."
