October 21: Ephesians 4:1-6

Key Verse: Ephesians 4:3
Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace.

Devotion:
I know I have used these verses on more than one occasion; its because they are worth going over again and again! God gave us His word, what we know as our bibles nowadays, so that we can get to know Him more and start to live our lives more in line with how He wants us to live. It is no surprise the bible continues to be one of the best selling books in the whole world!

Through His Word we continue to learn more about how to live and how to love. Yes, not just living our lives but filling them with love. We don’t get a second chance at living our lives on earth, so we should try to live them as close as we can to how Christ wants us to live. This means getting to know what He wants in our lives and trying to do our best. This means reading our bibles and taking in all the instructions Christ has given us.

It may be hard for us to get to grips with the scriptures of old, because we live such different lives to the people who lived back then. But God wants us to learn these scriptures so we can get to understand just how holy and powerful He is! We should humble ourselves before Him because He is our Creator and our Saviour!

Christ told us to love our neighbours as ourselves; meaning we should go out and try to keep the peace above all. There is no real place for petty arguments in our lives because they chip away at the very core God made within us and take us away from the lives He wants us to live. There is only one body we have which can be indwelt by the Holy Spirit whom the one Jesus Christ gave us because His only Father allowed this all to happen so we could be saved from the wrath of the evil one...

Points to Ponder:
Have you ever wondered where you get love from?

Will you allow God’s love to grow in you?
