All in One

„There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called in one hope of your calling; one Lord, one faith, one baptism; one God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in yoy all...“ Ephesians 4:4-6.

We might belong to different denominations, but we all belong to one Body of Christ. We might be inspired by different Bible passages, but we are filled with one Holy Spirit. We may have different visions for life, work and etc. but we have one hope of Heaven. Why? Well, because we have one faith, one God and one Father. That’s where real Christian unity comes from.

Worthy of the Calling

„I, therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you to walk worthy of the calling with which you were called, with all lowliness and gentleness, with longsuffering, bearing with one another in love, endeavoring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace“ Ephesians 4:1-3.

There has to be a reaction from us to what Jesus has done for us. We have to walk worthy of the calling. You can be indifferent and live light minded in this sinful world and be like any other person of the world who does not know Jesus. Or you can think about your salvation daily, meditate on the Word of God and live with a humble attitude and unity with your brothers and sisters. This kind of attitude will help you to live in this world, yet not to be defiled by the world. Let’s pray that the Lord would help us to do it.

Love of Christ Which Passes Knowledge

“…to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God” Ephesians 3:19. 

Love of Christ is far more powerful than any other power in this world. It can melt the toughest and hardest hearts. The most evil men give up their evil ways in the face of Jesus who loves unconditionally. The world turned their backs to Christ, rejected Him, spat on Him, yet the last words that came out of Jesus before His death were: “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they do.” Of course, not everybody kneels before Him, but His hands are still stretched towards them. He is ready to forgive, accept and make anybody part of Heavenly family. Let’s embrace His love.

Christ Lives Inside Through Faith

“…that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith…” Ephesians 3:17. 

Becoming a Christian is one thing and staying one is another. Converting to Christianity is a single experience and living a Christian life is a daily challenge. We may often forget that being a Christian is really imitating Christ, believing His teaching and following it. If you want final authority on any question you have you need to address to Jesus words. Go to the gospels and try to see what He said regarding this or that question. Jesus’ words are a Supreme Court in your life. Believe His Words and practice them in life. Easier said than done? Yah, but Jesus did not promise us an easy life. But it will surely be interesting.

Unsearchable Riches of Christ

“To me, who am less than the least of all the saints, this grace was given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ…” Ephesians 3:8. 

In the first and second chapters of Ephesians Paul clearly showed us the riches of Christ. He showed us full scope of redemption. He gave us all possible blessings, cleansed us with His blood, adopted us, accepted us in Him, forgave our sins, gave us wisdom and prudence through Him, gave us inheritance, sealed us with His Holy Spirit, seated us in Heavenly places with Him and many more…Wow! He deserves all the glory for that.
