  • Daily Devotional: Ephesians 5:11-21

    Daily Devotional: Ephesians 5:11-21

    The calling on the life of the Christian is to form the world positively. We are instructed not to participate in the unfruitful deeds of darkness—what Paul has already called immoral, impure, and covetous. Unfruitfulness is evil. Before we take this too far and become workaholics, we do recognize that rest to the proper degree…

    Daily Devotional: Ephesians 5:5-10

    The Christian puts off the old self, immorality, impurity, and greed—even no longer speaking unfruitfully or joking coarsely. We put on Christ and live for the benefit of others. We do so for, or because, we know with certainty that no immoral or impure person or covetous man, who is an idolater, has an inheritance…

    Daily Devotional: Ephesians 5:1-4

    Therefore, since we put off our old selfish selves and put on Christ, we are instructed to be imitators of God. We are His beloved children. Just as Christ gave Himself up for us as an offering and sacrifice to God as a fragrant aroma, we also give ourselves up for others. This is our…

    Daily Devotional: Ephesians 4:25-32

    Therefore, since we put on a new self in Christ and reject our natural entitled and self-absorbed ways, we lay aside falsehood and speak the truth to one another. The practice of falsehood is a selfish practice. We lie because we don’t want to be found out. We pretend to be righteous because we want…

  • Daily Devotional: Ephesians 4:17-24

    Daily Devotional: Ephesians 4:17-24

    God provides His Spirit and gifts each believer. Each believer is trained for ministry in the context of a local church. So, we no longer walk like the Gentiles, or like unbelievers. Unbelievers walk in the futility of their minds, being darkened in their understanding, and are excluded from the life of God because of…

  • Daily Devotional: Ephesians 4:7-16

    Daily Devotional: Ephesians 4:7-16

    After describing who God is and, consequently, what we are—one body—he now turns to show us what makes us individually important in the body of Christ. Δε, the first word in verse 7, can be translated “but” or “now.” Now, to each one of us grace was given. Christ determines the measure of grace each…

  • Daily Devotional: Ephesians 4:1-6

    Daily Devotional: Ephesians 4:1-6

    Therefore, because Paul wants the saints to comprehend God’s love, he implores them to walk in a manner worthy of the calling with which they have been called. The way we live is in direct connection to our comprehension of God’s love. It is true that works are not required for salvation. They are, though,…

  • Daily Devotional: Ephesians 3:14-21

    Daily Devotional: Ephesians 3:14-21

    Because God has made Himself known, Paul bows his knees before the Father. He is the one who created and names every family in heaven and on the earth. Paul continues to pray that the Father would grant the saints to be strengthened with power through His Spirit in the inner man so that Christ…

  • Daily Devotional: Ephesians 2:17-22

    Daily Devotional: Ephesians 2:17-22

    Paul quotes Isaiah 57:19, in which He declares peace to all peoples of the earth—those near to Him and those far from Him as proof that God is the God of all people, not only the Jews. He is building one spiritual nation for Himself, not two. Through Christ, both Jew and Gentile have their…

    Daily Devotional: Ephesians 2:11-16

    Therefore, because God is making dead people alive in a way that excludes human boasting in self, the saints remember that they were at one time separated from Christ. We were excluded from the commonwealth of Israel and strangers to the covenants of promise, having no hop and without God in this world. Since it…
