Love in all directions
We started Ephesians with the acknowledgment that it’s like ‘Christianity 101’ – basic in its explanation, yet epic in its scope. Not to mention personal in its encouragement – thanks Paul! And so it’s only right that we end the series with the same simplicity and wonder. In his final, personal greeting and blessing, Paul reminds us of: God’s love for us, expressed through the gifts of grace, peace and faith; our love for God, which is ‘undying’ and incorruptible; and our love for one another, which is possible in God’s love, purposed in Christ and demonstrated by Paul. Or, in short: God loves us, so we can love him and each other.
