Ephesians 6:10-24

As Paul concludes his letter to the Ephesian church, he calls them to do one final thing: stand firm. After showing the beauty of the gospel and how we are to apply it into our lives, Paul calls the church to withstand the spiritual warfare in the strength of God, praying at all times and encouraging one another.

Ephesians 6:10-20

We are all living in a war zone and the only way we can win this battle is with God's help. Prayer is a vital weapon in our Spiritual Battle and can mean the difference between victory and defeat.

Ephesians 6:10-24

In this closing passage of Ephesians, Paul uses the imagery of armour to describe how we as Christians are protected as we engage in spiritual warfare. In doing so, Paul calls us to stand firm in the strength of the Lord and encourage one another in the process.

Ephesians 6:5-9

God created us to work and reflect his glory in how we do that. While sin gets in the way and we live in a fallen world, through Jesus we have the ability to reflect God’s glory in how we work. All our work should reflect the goodness of God’s grace in our lives.

Ephesians 6:5-9

While we may no longer live in a context where slavery exists like it did in the first century, Paul’s words to bondservants and masters have significant application for us today in the area of work and the value we attribute to others. Finally, this passage calls us to recognize that we are to be slaves of Christ. Such a designation is a joyous honour in light of the price he paid for us.
