Ephesians.

Ephesians is quite possibly my favorite book of the Bible. I have about half of it underlined. So I decided to share my love for the book in this post by posting all the verses I have underlined. I'm currently working on memorizing a few of them!

1:7--In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God's grace

1:11--In him we were also chosen, having been predestined according to the plan of him who works out everything in conformity with the purpose of his will

2:4-5--But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions-it is by grace you have been saved.

2:8-10--For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith-and this not from yourselves, it is the figt of God-not by works, so that no one can boast. For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.

3:6--This mystery is that through the gospel the Gentiles are heirs together with Israel, members together of one body and sharers together in the promise of Christ Jesus.

4:1-3--As a prisoner for the Lord, then, I urge you to live a life worth of the calling you have received. Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with on another in love. Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace.

4:11-13--It was he who gave some to be apostles, some to be prophets, some to be evangelists, and some to be pastors and teacheres, to prepare God's people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ

4:22-24: You were taught, with regard to your formal way of life, to put off your old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires; to be made new in the attitude of your minds; and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness.

4:32--Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as Christ God forgave you.

5:1-2--Be imitators of God, therefore, as dearly loved children and live a life of love, just as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.

5:16-17--...making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil. Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord's will is.

5:21--Submit to one another out of reverence for Christ.

6:10--Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power.

6:18--And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests.

Words to live by. And all God's people said...AAAAAAMEN!
