Ephesians (Mentor Expository Commentary | MEC) is unavailable, but you can change that!

What makes Ephesians so beloved and valuable is not its genius or complexity but its clear and thorough teaching of the doctrines of salvation, of the church, and of the Christian life. Richard D. Phillips sets out in 65 wonderful expositions the beauty of Ephesians.

That answer is that Jesus lives in us through the work of the Holy Spirit. This is Paul’s point in this prayer, that the Spirit would strengthen us with power so that Christ would dwell in us. The Spirit takes the things of Christ and works them into us: Christ’s love, Christ’s holiness, Christ’s compassion and mercy, Christ’s forgiving heart and Christ’s desire to do the will of God the Father. Christ lives in us by the Spirit he sends, who takes the things of Christ and works them into our hearts.
