Ephesians 6:10 “Finally, be strong in the Lord and
in his mighty power.”
Paul’s letter to the Ephesians is a letter to encourage the
Christian movement amongst the people of the Ephesus. Ephesus was the largest and most important
Church of the region of Asia Minor and his hope in writing to them was to
encourage the people to continue in their faith, to continue to spread the Word
of God and to strengthen them in their faith.
He wanted the Church to be representative
of the body of Christ, one body with many functions, all unable to function
properly without the other and all equally important to each other.
This letter is valid still today. It is important that we encourage one another
in our faith by talking to one another about God and by reading the word of God
every day. This happens when we start
the good works at home. By talking to
our family about God every day and by praying together. Our family is also one body, made of many
parts, each equally important to the other and necessary to the other to function
properly as whole.
By acknowledging the grace of God, and by reading his word
together, we stay strong in our beliefs and are able to face the world head on. This is truly effective if we are united as a
family in this purpose. In the words of
Paul to the Ephesians 6:17
“Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.”
Prayer: Almighty God, you created this perfect
world. Grant me the wisdom to accept that
without the armour of your salvation, this life means nothing. Father thank you
for this amazing gift. In the name of Jesus Christ our Redeemer who lives
forever. Amen.
Stay Blessed
