The purpose is to defend the doctrine of justification by faith (righteousness coming only through faith, not by law-keeping) against Judaizers (Jewish legalists; those who sought to enforce the Mosaic Law on Gentile Christian converts). Paul does this by defending his own apostleship, giving examples of Abraham, human law, and Abraham's sons, and by describing the characteristics of a Christian life based on spiritual freedom (sonship) rather than bondage to law (slavery).

What is the theme of ephesians?
Paul was correcting wrong thinking that had quickly developed in the congregations of Galatia(Galatians 1:6). Certain Jews were trying to teach that circumcision (and other facets of the Law) were still required among Christians and Paul was reprimanding congregation members for being influenced by their false teachings(Galatians 2:15-3:14; 4:9+10) These ' false brothers', called 'Judaizers', were sly and concerned with their own interests (Acts 15:1/Galatians 2:4). Pretending to represent the congregation in Jerusalem, they discredited Paul and wanted the Christians to get circumcised(Galatians 4:17), to try and stop Jewish persecution of Christians. Paul wrote to the Galatians to remind them that they were no longer under the Mosaic Law(Galatians 2:15-21)(Galatians 1:6-9/Galatians 5:1-12/Galatians 6:12-16), but that they were acceptable to God because of their FAITH in the good news about Jesus (Galatians 3:1-5)(Galatians 4:1-7), and that the 'true sons of Abraham' were those with FAITH like Abraham's (Galatians 3:6-9+26-29).
