I love the heartfelt closing of Paul's Epistles.
Ephesians 3:14-21:
For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of Lord Jesus Christ, of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, that He would grant you according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might by His Spirit in the inner man; that Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; and to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fullness of God. Now unto Him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or thing, according to the power that worketh in us, unto Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all the ages, world without end. Amen.
Now, technically, that is not the closing of the entire Epistle -- it's the closing of Chapter 3. I love how Paul reminds them of what they have in Christ. And it's for us too -- what WE have in Christ.
