Monday





For this reason, ever since I heard about your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all God’s people, I have not stopped giving thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers.


Ephesians 1:15-16





  1. Faith and love seem to be the things that Paul noticed here. How is our faith in Jesus linked to our love for God's people?
  2. Reflect on your own faith. How does it translate to love for others?
  3. Read v16. Is there anyone you need to give thanks to? Send them a message today to show your love to them
  4. Pray: Thank God for the gift of faith and love. Ask God to mature our faith in Christ by growing our love to others.


Tuesday





I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better. I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in his holy people, and his incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is the same as the mighty strength


Ephesians 1:17-19





  1. Let us pray this same prayer today.
  2. How can wisdom and revelation help you grow in your faith?
  3. How can wisdom and revelation help you love others?
  4. Pray: Repeat the prayer in verse 17-19


Wednesday





But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions—it is by grace you have been saved.


Ephesians 2:4-5





  1. Read this verse a few times.
  2. Recite this verse in your own words.
  3. Reflect on the words "mercy" and "grace" and see Exodus 34:6-7 (which is the "profile" of God). Note how the "profile" of God is made known through Christ and his sacrifice for us.
  4. Pray: Thank God for His mercy and grace. Praise God that He has made us alive in Christ.


Thursday





For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— not by works, so that no one can boast.


Ephesians 2:8-9





  1. You might have read this verse a number of times, close your eyes and try to recite it in your own words.
  2. What is the good news that salvation is " not by works"?
  3. Is there anyone you can tell about this good news this week?
  4. Pray: Thank God that we are saved not by our works. Ask God to remind us of this good news every day and to show this good news to others.


Friday





For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.


Ephesians 2:10





  1. What does "God's handiwork" mean?
  2. Do you see yourself as God's handiwork? Why/why not?
  3. What is the task for someone who is God's handiwork?
  4. Pray: Thank God for making us His handiwork. Ask God to teach us to live out this truth by doing good works for people around us.
