Welcome to a study in the book of Ephesians!

I'm so glad you decided to join me! God's Word is life to us! It is our instruction manuel for life. The Bible contains the "ABC's"of Christian living. Many times we struggle and struggle to live a godly life. God doesn't want you to struggle, but He does require us to "work out our salvation with fear and trembling". That just means work out that walk with Him individually. Figure out what to do and then do it! He has given you the answers in His book of books - the Bible! Let's discover what it is saying to you. Let the Holy Spirit teach you! By the way, you must be born again to understand this book.
How do you get "born again"? In John 3, Jesus says you must be born of the Spirit. That means your Spirit needs to be revived, brought to life. Only Jesus can do that!Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth and the life". As a matter of fact, He also said that there was one way to the Father. That way was through Him. He wasn't just a prophet or good man. He is the Son of God. God created you. God loves you. God wants you to have a relationship with Him. How? One way. Believe. Believe that Jesus is the Son of God. Believe that He died on the cross to delete your sin and get you to a place where you can know God here on earth and see Him face to face when you die. That's it. Do it today!

Oh yes. Please comment on the posts! I would love to hear what God has revealed to you about Genesis! Let the journey begin!

Two More Thoughts About Your Freedom

Okay. One more thing about sin and how important it is that we understand how free we are from it. Well, two things. First, it is important how you think. The Bible tells us to change the way we think. It tells us to meditate on His Word day and night. We are to talk about it at the table and discuss it before we go to bed. We are to think on things that are pure and holy and of good report. Where your mind goes, you go. Fill up that empty space formerly held by sin with God's Word. Life will change for you. The other point is that sickness and sin are related. Sin brought sickness into this world. You are going to come up against some things in life brought about by sickness, etc. in this world. You can take great care of yourself and still fall victim. So, your freedom from sin and it's effects causes you to tap in to God's supernatural ability to heal. But before the hit comes, you must renew your mind to God's truth in this area. Develop your "faith muscles" so you are ready for the fight when it comes. Read Galatians 4:1-11. You are God's adopted child. With adoption comes all the benefits a natural child has. Again, you are God's child. Wouldn't you do everything you can to protect and help your child? Well, God's the same way and even better! Verse seven says, you are no longer a servant (of the law) but a son and therefore an heir to all God has for you. It's time to dip into the inheritance! There is plenty to go around!
