Ephesians: Loved in Christ
What do you think about when you think about God? How you view God affects how you view yourself and how you live in the world around you. God is continually revealing Himself to us by showing us who He is and what He is like. As we get to know Him, He touches and transforms every aspect of our lives. This is the God who is.
What keeps you up at night? A sin you can't overcome? A situation out of your control? These realities are not meant to push us to despair but to desperation, dependence, and devotion to God through prayer. As Paul moves from our wealth in Christ (chapters 1-3) to how to walk in Christ (chapters 4-6), he pauses and prays that we would be strengthened from the inside out. When we come to God in the proper posture of prayer, understanding the purpose of prayer, we begin to see the power of prayer as the love of Christ fills us and transforms every aspect of our lives.
