Second, let’s look at who we are. Eph. 4:20-21 says, “20 But ye have not so learned Christ;21 If so be that ye have heard him, and have been taught by him, as the truth is in Jesus:” Many Christians are unsettled and do not grow in maturity, unity, or walk worthy of their salvation because they

The second item that we must see in this passage is the virtues of our walk that enable and strengthen our unity. Eph. 4:2-3 says, “2 With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love;3 Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.” The first thing about the walk

If we were to take part in a survey about our feelings toward fried chicken livers, there would be a variety of answers to choose from. There would be the crowd, more than likely a small minority who can’t get enough of them. Another crowd would be the ones who think chicken livers are just

Secondly, we must respond to God’s excellent sufficiency. Read Eph. 3:20 once again. Just for good measure, one more time. Now, we must see here as well that God is not only excellent in His ability but also His sufficiency. God is the only self-sufficient being. He is eternally self-existent and therefore eternally self-sufficient. God

We live in a physically focused world. We tend to focus on what is in front of us, the things that we can see, feel, taste, touch and hear. Very few of us ponder spiritual things or the spiritual significance of mundane earthly activity. Most Christians, like the lost world, spend more time thinking about

The second section that we must see in this passage is the priority of the unsearchable riches. We have seen the preaching of the riches but now we see the priority of not only the riches of Christ but the preaching of those riches. Eph. 3:10-11 says, “10 To the intent that now unto the principalities

In our study of the book of Ephesians, we have seen the repeated message of the believer’s wealth and walk in Christ. The believer’s wealth in Christ is their position in Christ. Our positional identity of belonging to Christ then enables our behavior practically living out who we are in Christ. The walk of the

Devotions for the Head, the Heart, and the Home Col. 1:22-23 Read: In Col.1, Paul is powerfully demonstrating the reconciling work of Christ. Jesus, through His sacrificial substitutionary and sufficient atoning death for us has reconciled His former enemies and embraced them as friends. We have been reconciled to Christ, by Christ, and together in

Secondly, let’s look at the management of the mystery. Eph. 3:2-5 says, “ 2 If ye have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which is given me to you-ward: 3 How that by revelation he made known unto me the mystery; (as I wrote afore in few words, 4 Whereby, when ye read, ye may
