Answered in 1 source

'Whole family' signifies the unity and completeness of God's people, encompassing all believers in heaven and earth.

In Ephesians 3, the phrase 'whole family' is significant as it emphasizes that God's family is not fragmented but united. This term suggests that all believers, whether they are living or have passed into glory, are part of a singular family under God, named after Him. This inclusiveness reinforces the unity of the church and emphasizes that both Jews and Gentiles are one in Christ. The use of 'whole' indicates that the family is complete and comprises all who are saved, highlighting the comprehensive nature of God's redemptive plan.
