Ephesians 4 is a pivotal point in Paul’s letter. If taken out of context, we can be led astray and deceived. We may think God expects things from us that is not true at all.

Understanding the church and what God intended when He made us new creatures in Christ, will drastically change everything. Far too long we have been told it is about works and sacrifice for God when the truth is, it is Jesus’ works and sacrifice that makes us perfect and right with God.

 Paul mentions some of the spiritual gifts Jesus gave to the body. How can we appreciate the purpose of the gifts and get all we can in understanding and therefore walk in the reality of these truths?

So many nuggets in this chapter and we learn more about the spiritual blessings that belong to us, because we belong to Christ.

Paul has more insight and mystery to reveal to those who are in Christ. He wants them to know about a mystery that had been hidden up until that point, but he was about to make it known. This mystery that is being revealed is beyond comprehension. The vastness of the wealth we have been given in Christ is too big to grasp. When we understand scripture the way God intended when He inspired man to write it down, it will take us to a deeper understanding, love and intimacy in our relationship with the Lord and one another. There are not enough words to adequately explain the love of God found in Christ Jesus.

Let’s explore together and see what we can learn about a love so great it can only be revealed by the Spirit of God.

Ephesians 3:1-13

2 Corinthians 11:23-33

Philippians 3:8

Those who were far from God, have been brought near. All people are invited to believe in the promises of God and partake of the blessings. Jesus has taken us out of the kingdom of darkness and placed us into the kingdom of light, but what does that actually mean in reality? Paul wanted them and us to understand. He is reaching out to people who were looking for answers. His message was a message of hope and redemption. To all who are in darkness, come. Come into the light and knowledge of the Lord by receiving His Spirit. Come understand who you are, where you came from, and where you are going. Come into the kingdom of God.

Too Good to Be True, The Gospel of Grace - Ephesians

Grace at LAST YouTube - Ephesians

Ephesians tells us that God made dead people alive. How does He do that and what is our part? God mentions disobedience and some scary consequences for those who don’t do what He says. Or is that the really the definition of disobedience and how can I know so I am sure I understand truth? Many people are of the opinion that we should keep grace in check and not get out of balance, but Paul didn’t have that attitude and it isn’t the message he imparted to his readers. Let’s seek to understand this letter to the Ephesians and the message Paul wanted to convey without dissecting it and tearing apart a message of love and redemption.

Paul had an inheritance he wants us to know about so God had him write a letter to the Ephesians and preserve it so it will also enrich our lives today.

As the wealthiest people on the planet, living with a poverty mindset is unacceptable if we are going to enjoy our inheritance. Being able to identify and clearly claim our rightful inheritance, begins with knowing what it is.

Today, we start that journey as we look at a portion of Ephesians 1 that will greatly enlighten us as to some of the wonderful blessings we have in Christ.

Too Good To Be True - Ephesians Study

Paul tells us in Ephesians we have been blessed with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places. When we walk in the reality of that truth, we experience the blessings we have been left. Too many of God’s people are living in poverty when they are the wealthiest people on planet earth.  Understanding the riches that belong to those in Christ is overwhelming and can override any darkness or despair painful experiences in this life can bring. Let’s begin an exploration of understanding the truths of the new covenant that brings us every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places.

Ecclesiastes

Gaining and losing rewards can be a mindset from where we habitually operate.  This stems from a root of fear and a misunderstanding of the finished work of Christ. Today we look at the topic of losing rewards if we fall short of God’s expectations or requirements. What is our assurance of our inheritance and how can we begin to enjoy it today? There is a rest available for God’s people and the truths we will discuss today will help us to experience it in our personal lives not just something we read or hear about. I am so glad you joined in today.
