Project Gutenberg 2008-02-23 Public domain in the USA. 112 Maclaren, Alexander 1826 1910 McLaren, Alexander Expositions of Holy Scripture Ephesians; Epistles of St. Peter and St. John E-text prepared by Charles Franks, Colin Bell, and the Project Gutenberg Online Distributed Proofreading Team "Expositions of Holy Scripture" by Alexander Maclaren is a theological commentary likely written in the late 19th century, focusing on interpretations of New Testament texts, particularly from the letters of Paul. The work aims to provide deep insights into Christian doctrine, elucidating important concepts such as holiness, faith, and spiritual blessings as they relate to the believer's life. The opening of this exposition begins with a discussion of the Apostle Paul's address to the church in Ephesus, emphasizing the idea that all true believers are considered "saints" and "faithful." Maclaren asserts that the term 'saint' is not relegated to the morally upright or exceptional individuals; instead, it includes all Christians who are dedicated to God's service. He further explains the necessity of faith in Jesus Christ as the foundation for holiness and illustrates that a believer's identity transcends their earthly circumstances, pointing to a distinguished calling in Christ even amidst a world filled with moral and social challenges. Through eloquent biblical interpretations, Maclaren sets the stage for a deeper understanding of the Christian faith and its implications for righteous living.
