In today’s passage, Paul continues the thought of putting on the new man. As a Christian, you are no longer to live like the world or to obey the lusts of your flesh. We are to obey the Holy Spirit’s guidance in our lives. We are a new creature. We have a new nature. We are under new management. And as such, we are called to live a certain way. And in this passage, Paul lines out for us 5 key values that we have as Christians under the leading of the Holy Spirit.

In today’s passage, we see Paul implore the Ephesian believers to make sure that they live differently from the world around them. In a place like Ephesus, where sexual immorality and carnality abounded, Christians who lived like Jesus would shine as a stark difference to the darkness in which the other Gentiles walked. So too, if we live like Jesus, our lives should and will stand out in stark difference from the unbelieving world around us.

As Paul continues to flesh out the idea of unity in the church, he begins to talk about how each person within the body of Christ has a responsibility and a purpose that corresponds to their gifts and talents. And when every one is doing their part while learning from spiritual leaders and growing in their personal walk with the Lord, the body of Christ is edified, built up, and naturally grows.

The first thing that Paul addresses after reminding the Ephesians of their gospel identity is unity in the church. There are several ways that we can strive for unity. But Paul specifically hones in on the fact that unity flows from our heavenly calling, unity grows in a humble community, and unity knows a hopeful foundation.

Paul finishes his thought that began in chapter 3 and says that he is praying for the Ephesian believers to really comprehend all of the truths that he has written to them about. He doesn’t pray that they would DO anything. He prays that they would KNOW something. And ultimately, what he points to is that all that they are in Christ is an identity that cannot be destroyed because the Spirit of God is strengthening us, the love of God is grounding us, and the power of God is working in us.

As Paul writes to the Ephesians, he takes a moment to write about the suffering he is facing by being imprisoned. But it isn’t a complaint. It isn’t even a prayer request. Instead, he tells them that his suffering is a wonderful opportunity to fulfill his calling. Through this passage, we learn that because of our gospel identity, we can see that our hardships have a purpose to dispense and display the grace of God.

When Paul told the Ephesians that they were a temple of the Lord, fitly framed together for the habitation of God, they understood full implications of this. In this message, we trace what “temple” is through the whole of Scripture, and see something amazing about our Gospel identity. It’s a truth that can blow our minds, fill our hearts, and motivate us further to live holy lives for God!

In this message, we see how the blood of Jesus Christ not only reconciled us to God, but also reconciled us to other people. Just as the Gentiles were alienated from the promises of God to Israel, we were completely alienated by our sin. But now in Christ, instead of alienation, there is reconciliation. And because of this, we should strive to live in unity with each other.

As the apostle Paul continues helping the Ephesians understand their gospel identity, he takes the time to remind them of who they were prior to being saved. Sometimes we forget just how bad off we were before we came to know Jesus. In this message, we are reminded of how bad we used to be, how good God is, and how we should consistently respond in faith.

Paul transitions in these verse to what he is praying for in regards to the Ephesian Christians. He understood that although everything he had just said is true about those who are in Christ, the sad reality is that some still live a life that is contrary to that gospel identity. But he wants them to fully experience how that impacts your heart, mind, and actions. And so he shares with them what he is consistently praying for them.
