Ephesians 1:1 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, to the saints who are in Ephesus, and faithful in Christ Jesus:

Whenever Paul wrote to other churches and from churches he always included everyone in his message. This was not to make sure that nobody got left out but to continue following Christ’s teaching.

God taught him to greet all saints in Christ and to encourage the gathering together of the saints; that means everyone in the church!

Don’t leave people out because you don’t like them or their ways. If they are working for Christ them they are on the same side.

Include people who would otherwise be excluded. Remember the people who stand up for Christ. Glorify God in everything.
