As we conclude our journey through Ephesians, we're reminded of the profound transformation that occurs when we embrace life in Christ. It's not merely about attending church or reading the Bible; it's a complete shift from darkness to light, discovering a new existence where everything is different. This new life impacts our internal selves and external relationships, touching every aspect of our being. We're called to recognize that we're citizens of heaven navigating through earthly kingdoms, engaged in a spiritual battle that goes beyond what we can see. The enemy isn't flesh and blood, but spiritual forces of evil. We're challenged to stand firm in the victory Christ has already won, equipped with the armor of God: truth, righteousness, the gospel of peace, faith, salvation, and the word of God. Through prayer and perseverance, we're empowered to resist the enemy's schemes and live out our faith courageously.
