1-22-2023 “WHO YOU ARE IN CHRIST!” Ephesians 4:1

This week David Sisk fills in for Bro. Leo, who is out of town. David leads us on a great Biblical study of how to walk worthy of our position in Christ.

The first three chapters of Ephesians explain who we are in Christ. The last three chapters of Ephesians explain our responsibilities as Christians.

Eph.1:3 explains that the spiritual blessings are available to every Christian. Verses 4-7, 9, 14 and 13 define those blessings.

2Tim.1:9 tells us that our position in Christ is not dependent upon our performance/works, but is the product of our faith in the work of Christ in us.

Praying Eph.3:20 is how we walk worthy of our position in Christ.
