We seem to grab pieces of scripture instead of reading it all in context. But when you see it for all it's worth, it will change you. Did you know Paul was in prison when he wrote Ephesians? Knowing that changed the way I read this epistle. Paul is wanting people's eyes to be opened to see what God is doing. He wants us to know we ARE the fullness of Christ as the Church. We are the fullness of Christ even though we were dead because of our disobedience and sins. But, let us not forget where we came from. There's nothing in us that causes God to love us, but He loves us because we are His masterpiece. We are not saved by works, and we're not continued to be saved by works. We are to walk hand in hand with God and do good works. And the good news is this is not the end!
