Ephesians: 1:15-23 Paul in Prayer

Ephesians #3: Paul enters into a life of adoration as soon as he has described God. These are the first to guides to godliness in Ephesians; 1) that we would take hold of the knowledge of who God is and what he has done for us; and 2) That we would live lives filled with adoration for the God who has poured more love into us than we can imagine.

So roll up your sleeves, put your mind in gear, be totally ready to receive the gift that’s coming when Jesus arrives. Don’t lazily slip back into those old grooves of evil, doing just what you feel like doing. You didn’t know any better then; you do now. As obedient children, let yourselves be pulled into a way of life shaped by God’s life, a life energetic and blazing with holiness. God said, “I am holy; you be holy. [1 Peter 1:13-16]
