  • Read Ephesians 5:8 and then study light in the following texts: Prov 4:18; Isaiah 60:1; Matt 5:13-16; John 8:12; 2 Corinthians 4:4; 1 John 1:5-7
  • Look through the Ephesian letter to see the number of uses of the idea of “fullness”: 1:23; 3:19; 4:10; 4:13
  • How does 1 Peter 1:13-16 echo Ephesians 4-5?
  • Read Titus 3:8 as further commentary on Eph 5:11-16.

God's Design

Text: Ephesians 4

Theme: God’s Design …in building his church through Jesus Christ for his own glory.

  • Let your eyes fall on multiple uses of the word “all” and the word “one” in verses 1-6. Can you see how this shapes a foundation for unity?
  • Read Psalm 133. You will encounter “unity” in v.1, and what is found at the very end of the Psalm? How are these two ideas connected?
  • Think of one person to show special kindness to today.

  • Consider the Old Testament revelation of God’s plan to save his people out of all the nations. We see the hope of reconciliation in: Genesis 12:3, 22:18, 26:4, 28:14; Psalm 67 & 72; Isaiah 11:10, 49:6, 60:1-3; Hosea 1:10; Amos 9:11-12
  • Add to that Ephesians 2:11-22 and Colossians 1:18-23.

  • Make this week a study of good works. Nail down the place of good works before salvation from Ephesians 2:8-9.
  • Now look over a number of verses that show you the place of good works once you have believed in Jesus for salvation. James 2:17-26 is a summary of true faith lived out with good works. See also: Colossians 1:10; 2 Timothy 3:17; Titus 2:14 and 3:1, 8.
