Day 15 - Change Your Life!

Day 15 - Change Your Life!

We are almost finished through the book...what is in store for the next ten days? We are going to put on our armour and then look at it piece by piece so that we are equipped to stand in God's Word and to stand, stand, stand

Pray, Read the book of Ephesians, Praise God

Instead of study verses and in preparation for the armour, let's examine the evidence of the trinity throughout Ephesians:

Trinitarian Formulas and Expressions in Ephesians
Reference
Father
Son
Spirit

1:3
Blessed be the God and Father
of our Lord Jesus Christ
every spiritual blessing
1:11–13
him who works all things according to . . . his will
to hope in Christ
sealed with the promised Holy Spirit
1:17
God . . . the Father of glory
our Lord Jesus Christ
a spirit of wisdom and of revelation
2:18
access . . . to the Father

2:22

3:2–5
the stewardship of God's grace
the mystery of Christ
revealed . . . by the Spirit
3:14–17
the Father . . . the riches of his glory
so that Christ may dwell in your hearts
through his Spirit
4:4–6
one God and Father
one Lord
one Spirit
5:18–20
giving thanks . . . to God the Father
in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ
be filled with the Spirit


If you meditate on these verses line-by-line do you see the evidence of the Trinity? Why do you think God had the apostles write it this way? Does this confirm the Trinitarian God for you? Why or why not?

Take 30 minutes and look in your Bible concordance for other references to the Trinity--you will see this in the very first verses of Genesis if you read it carefully! Isn't God wonderful? Praises be to God, have a blessed day and thank Father, Son and Holy Spirit for His love and abiding presence. Until tomorrow Beloved, Sister Lisa
