Note 16 at Eph. 3:21: In this doxology the apostle Paul is exalting Him who has the power to do exceeding abundantly above all that one could ask or think. God's power has no limits and is restricted only by what men say and think.

Paul is exalting Him who is able (v. 20) and Him who is to be glorified in the church (v. 21), for the exceeding greatness of His power that is to us-ward who believe (Eph. 1:19). This power is not external but is internal, within the believer. It is working according to the faith that we exercise in the indwelling Savior. It was this principle that Paul was stating when he declared, "I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me " (Phil. 4:13). Unto Him be glory in the church throughout all ages.
