Ephesians
2 Nobody’s Perfect
God
is perfect; people are sinful. Fortunately, God does not require people to reach a
certain level of perfection before He will accept them. Otherwise, no one could
ever be saved! God provided a perfect way of salvation – grace. No one is saved
by his or her good works; otherwise, people might be tempted to boast about how
they had earned their salvation. Instead, no one can boast; they can only
accept by faith this gift of God. One day God will make us perfect; we continue
to grow more and more like Christ with the help of the Holy Spirit.
Ephesians
3 – Growing Up
These
words describe the goal of all Christians as they seek to mature in their
faith. Believers can pray to be strengthened by the Holy Spirit, so that they
can withstand temptations and fear. They can pray for Christ to dwell in their
hearts, helping them to remain “rooted and grounded in love.” Finally, they can
pray “to know the love of Christ,” a love that is incomprehensible, yet able to
be known by experience. When we pray for spiritual growth for ourselves and
others, we can use the words of this prayer.
