On Democracy Day, believers are reminded that all governing authority is instituted by God, and submission to it reflects obedience to God’s ordained order.
In a world full of deceptive opportunities, believers are urged to seek and follow God’s will daily, making wise decisions that reflect His truth and purpose.
Paul urges believers to imitate Christ and live a life of holiness and love. Holiness is the defining nature of God’s Kingdom, and those who desire to be with Christ must reflect it in their daily lives.
Paul teaches that the new life in Christ must reflect true righteousness and holiness. Believers are to put off falsehood, avoid sinful anger, and walk in integrity as they relate to others.
Paul urges believers to live worthy of their calling by walking in humility, patience, and love, striving for unity. Every member of Christ’s Body has a unique gift meant to build up the Church in oneness and maturity.
Spiritual growth requires more than teaching, it requires prayer. Paul’s prayer for the Ephesian believers shows the vital role intercession plays in rooting young converts in faith and love. Just as he labored in prayer for their maturity, we too must support others in the body of Christ with intentional, fervent prayers.
Christ is the bridge that connects us to God, tearing down barriers of fear and separation. Paul saw himself as a servant privileged to bring this mystery of salvation to the Gentiles. Through faith in Jesus, we cross from bondage into boldness, becoming members of God’s family with access to eternal inheritance.
We were once spiritually dead, driven by worldly passions and disobedience. But by God’s great mercy and love, we have been made alive in Christ. This transformation is not by our works but by grace through faith. We are now His workmanship, created for good works that reflect His nature and purpose.
In a world filled with fear and unseen powers, believers are reminded through Paul’s prayer that the same power that raised Christ from the dead is now at work in us. This power is not theoretical, it’s real, active, and available to every believer who trusts in Christ. We must grow in the knowledge of Him and walk boldly, free from fear and insecurity.
