Show Notes

The epistle to the Ephesians, likely written while Paul is imprisoned in Rome, is perhaps the most formal of the apostle’s letters. While Paul is not responding to a particular theological or moral problem, he wants to protect against future problems by encouraging the Ephesians to mature in their faith. So after laying out profound theological truths in the first half of the book, Paul makes his purpose clear: he expects that this community of faith will walk in accordance with its heavenly calling (Ephesians 4:1). As a result of the theological realities Christians accept by their faith in God, several practices should follow in their relationships within the church, in the home, and in the world.

 

In today’s top ten list, we explore ten principles on living the Christian life. They include the fact that we can do nothing to earn our standing with God, we are bound in unity to other believers, we are called to walk worthy, we need to put off the old self, and train our children in righteousness. Other scriptures referenced include Ephesians 1;3-14; Ephesians 2:1-10, 19-22; Ephesians 4:3-14, 20-32; 1 Corinthians 1:10; 1 Peter 3:8; Ephesians 5:1, 22-23; and Ephesians 6:1-4, 10-20.
