IN HIMadvanced
Arrange these three phrases from Ephesians 2:18 (ESV) in the order they appear in the text: "For through him we both have access in one Spirit to the Father."
Answer
through him, in one Spirit, to the Father
Explanation
### The order
1. **Through Christ**: The verse identifies Christ as the means by which access is opened.
2. **By one Spirit**: It describes the access as occurring by one Spirit.
3. **Access to the Father**: The destination is approach to the Father.
### The concept
Ephesians 2:18 summarizes a relational pattern: through Christ, by the Spirit, to the Father. The verse applies this access to both those described as far off and those near. The order distinguishes the means and agent from the destination. It does not present access as something people obtain through independent merit.
### The other options
The first item in the question’s list is the destination, not the first part of the verse’s sequence. The correct order follows the verse’s stated route.
### Remember
For Ephesians 2:18, remember the pattern: through Christ, by the Spirit, to the Father.
