Ephesians

Here's some of my thoughts as I read through Ephesians:

  • Chapter 1 keeps noting that everything is "to the praise of His glory."
  • So many times we tend to separate our flesh from our mind, but in Chapter 2, Paul notes that the mind is part of the flesh.
  • "not a result of works so that no one can boast." God designed grace to protect us. This is not a command against boasting, it's showing that it is impossible to boast because there is simply nothing to boast about.
  • Just as Christ built the Church, He's building us into dwelling places for God.
  • We are to approach God with humble confidence.
  • Christ dwelling in your heart through faith and being rooted in love are the prerequisites to knowing the love and fullness of God.
  • The whole body must be working right in order for it to grow.
  • GIVE NO OPPORTUNITY TO THE DEVIL!
  • Our identity has been changed. We are identified in Christ. IF we aren't acting like it, we are fake!
  • Exposed darkness becomes light.
  • Let's be crazy! Drunk with the Spirit!
  • Alertness is an often overlooked key to a healthy spirituality.
That's what I got. Thanks for reading! Any questions?
