It is so important that we are opening God’s word and learning. It says, “Make every effort to keep yourselves united in the Spirit…” to me that comes from self study and asking God for wisdom. Our focus should be Christ and we should take to heart that God sent His Son to live life out so we had an example to learn by. We always have Jesus to study and learn from as we go through this world trying to be a light. Now we have the Holy Spirit that guides us to keep us focused on what is right and keep our eyes on Heaven.
Verse 5 says, “There is one Lord, on faith, one baptism, and one God and Father, who is over all and in all and living through all.”
So we need to equip ourselves everyday to be our best so our faith is seen by the world.
I love the challenge in chapter 4 verses 21-24 which says, “Since you have heard about Jesus and have learned the truth that comes from Him, throw off your old sinful nature and your former way of life, which is corrupted by lust and deception. Instead, let the Spirit renew your thoughts and attitudes. Put on your new nature, created to be like God –truly righteous and holy.”
We have heard about Christ, what is holding us back from changing and living to be truly righteous and holy? Amen
