Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children. And walk in love, as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us, a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God. - Ephesians 5:1-2

"...to put off your old self, which belongs to your former manner of life and is corrupt through deceitful desires, and to be renewed in the spirit of your minds, and to put on the new self, created after the likeness of God in true righteousness and holiness."- Ephesians 4:23-24

Christian, You have been given a weighty and unique role in building up this church!

Ephesians 4:1- I therefore, a prisoner for the Lord, urge you to walk in a manner worthy of the calling to which you have been called.

Ephesians 3:18-19... may have strength to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.

Suffering incurred in the path of gospel ministry is a mere trifle.

Remember that you were separated from Christ, but now you have been brought near

by the blood of Christ!

"But God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which he loved us, even

when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ." Ephesians 2:4-5

There are things about God you will not know unless you pray. Ephesians 1:18b-19 - "That you may know what is the hope to which he has called you, what are the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints, and what is the immeasurable greatness of his power toward us who believe, according to the working of his great might"

Christians have irrevocable certainty of the outcome. Ephesians 1:11- In him we have obtained an inheritance, having been predestined according to the purpose of him who works all things according to the counsel of his will.
