Pauls’ writings to the Ephesian Christians make some of the most important pronouncements in God's Holy Word concerning God's grace. This one could be one of the most fruitful messages we could receive. The offer of grace from God is available to all people whether they desire it or not, whether they accept it or not. God's grace is with us in great abundance and blessings as we love Jesus and hold fast to his love with a clasp of steadfast and unwavering faith. The love we have for Christ Jesus should be the supreme object of our love.
Matthew 22:37 tells us that we
should love God with our hearts, souls, and minds. Godly love is an
all-inclusive method of our positioning with God. The love spoken here and in
many other parts of the Bible is not a human emotion. Instead, it points to the
core of one's being, heart, soul, mind, body, and spirit. The idea here is to
approach God's throne with our best selves. There is no good in any of us as
humans in and of ourselves. So, approaching God with our best will require
coming to God filled with His Holy Spirit. God will not look upon sin; since we
are all sinners (Romans 3:23; 3:10), we can only come to God in and through
Christ Jesus.
Biblical love rises above
human discord. Biblical love does not necessitate followers of Christ Jesus to
speak in melodic verse or cloying, sentimental manners. Love in the Word of God
is not sentiment but the capability and aptitude to do what is best for others
irrespective of their affinity towards us. There is a place for interchange of
feelings, but it is not in the heart and soul of Christian love.
Paul ended this letter to the
Ephesians Christians by calling for a blessing upon them. In this way, he was
attempting to help the Ephesians and all whose eyes fall upon this writing to
walk in love for God in Christ Jesus, our Lord, and Savior.
