Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might.

Therefore be imitators of God as dear children. And walk in love, as Christ also has loved us and given Himself for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet-smelling aroma.

– Ephesians 5:1-2

If you will be an imitator of God, then you will most certainly “walk in love.” For there is no greater expression of one walking in love, than the way in which God, in Christ, has related to us.

And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave you.

– Ephesians 4:32

This is one of the verses we often rehearse with our four, young kids. My prayer is that it not only lingers in their minds, but also forms their hearts. May it also find its way into your mind and heart, and transform the way you interact with others.

Devotional

For this reason I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, from whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might through His Spirit in the inner man, that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and height–to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.

– Ephesians 3:14-19

The Apostle Paul, the king of the run-on sentence, here writes one of his great prayers for the church. If ever you are at a loss as to what to pray for another brother or sister in Christ, this is a great prayer to consider. Certainly may prayer for you would be that you also would “be strengthened with might through His Spirit in the inner man.”

But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ.

– Ephesians 2:13

In and by Jesus Christ we have been reconciled to God. On account of sin we were far from, and at enmity with Him. But by Christ (who is our peace) the enmity has been done away with, and we are no longer strangers, but children. If there is anything praise worthy, this is most certainly it.

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ,

– Ephesians 1:3

Praise be to God who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in heavenly places. This is an already accomplished blessing. It is not something we are wishfully hoping for. It is the reality you have been born into as a child of God. Rejoice in the riches you have in Christ, and use them without hesitation for His glory.

My little children, for whom I labor in birth again until Christ is formed in you,

– Galatians 4:19

Paul’s aim was that Christ would be formed in those who he pastored. By the transforming power of the Spirit, and the Scripture, Paul’s desire was that they (the Galatians, Ephesians, Corinthians, Philippians, etc.) would “be conformed to the image of His Son” (Romans 8:29). And we all, as we are “beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord” (2 Cor. 3:18).

Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us (for it is written, “Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree”),

– Galatians 3:13

As the Christian continues to experience the effects of the fall, through indwelling sin, and our broken nature, we need to be reminded that Christ has redeemed us. His redemptive work was accomplished when He said “It is finished” and it is (fully) effective in my life, immediately upon conversion. The curse of law (and the stain of sin and death) no longer have the same power in my life, after I have trusted in Jesus. Because He carried the curse upon (and in) Himself upon the cross.
