Day 339 of the podcast, reading Ephesians 4-6 NET, read along at:
https://netbible.org/bible/Ephesians+4-6/
This is day 339 of our journey.
In Ephesians 4, Paul places a strong emphasis on unity among the believers. He reminds them that God himself is the one who has appointed different roles for the believers and that each of these roles has the purpose of building one another up in unity. He calls us to practice the truth in love so that we can grow to be more like Christ. Paul then narrows down his focus to talk about unity in the home. He speaks to the roles of husbands and wives. Husbands must show love for their wives, in the same way that Christ loved the church. Wives must submit to their husbands in a similar way to the way that Christians must submit to the Lord. This is not a call for patriarchal dominance, but for mutual love and respect, recognizing the distinct gifts and needs of men and women. Paul closes by reminding us that our battle is not against other people, but rather against the spiritual forces of evil around us. As such, we can only combat this with spiritual armor. We must daily put on this armor to strengthen us for the battles we face.
Join me in Ephesians 4-6 and live in unity with one another!
Key verses:
Ephesians 4:25
Therefore, having laid aside falsehood, each one of you speak the truth with his neighbor, because we are members of one another.
Ephesians 5:33
Nevertheless, each one of you must also love his own wife as he loves himself, and the wife must respect her husband.
Ephesians 6:13
For this reason, take up the full armor of God so that you may be able to stand your ground on the evil day, and having done everything, to stand.
