We were DEAD, SLAVES, and children of WRATH.
But God, being rich in mercy made us ALIVE, FREE, and children of GRACE.
It’s a free gift that we did absolutely nothing to earn or deserve.
THEREFORE, REMEMBER…
God longs to bring those who are far away from him close to him, and make them part of his family. To make them our brothers and sisters.
Put away anything that hinders, divides, or places barriers in the way of them receiving the same free gift you received.
THEREFORE, REMEMBER and let’s get on with the good works that he has planned for us

“Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.” —Ephesians 6: 10-12

Ephesians 5:21 - 6:9 5:21 Submit to one another out of reverence for Christ. Everything following is rooted in verse 21 In chapters 5 & 6 Paul gives examples of how we do this in the context of: Marriage, Family and Authority Marriage: Husband and wife submitting, or deferring, to one another while fully submitting to God Family: Children learn to obey God by obeying their parents Authority: You are either OVER someone in authority, or UNDER someone else’s authority.
