The family. This second portrait of the church in Ephesians is that we are all “members of God’s household” (v. 19). The “whole family of believers … derives its name” (3:14) from God the Father. That name is “family,” and from God’s name as Father we learn that we are children together. We are brothers and sisters now in the loving, intimate context of a home. It was in our parents’ home that we first learned to love. Now, in God’s family, we learn of His love, and to love one another. A holy temple.
