A humbled and open heart is fertile soil for God’s seeds of wisdom to be planted. Deeper Roots is focused on analyzing God’s word to discover truths, values, and lessons for application to our lives. Periodically, a scripture or passage calls for further exploration, like the book of Ephesians.
This month, we are exploring the entire book of Ephesians in our Walk as Children of Light – Online Bible Study. It is not too late to join us – Walk as Children of Light.
Here’s an excerpt from Day 5.
Day 5 – Chapter 1:9-10
God has now revealed to us his mysterious will regarding Christ—which is to fulfill his own good plan. 10 And this is the plan: At the right time he will bring everything together under the authority of Christ—everything in heaven and on earth.
Ephesians 1:9-10 NLT
Life is full of mystery. However, there are aspects of God’s will that are not hidden from believers. Here Paul explains the end game is unity. God wants us to be gathered in unity with Christ. That is His will for all things under heaven and earth to be unified together. Understanding that key point helps us to reorient ourselves to unity among believers. As we find ourselves disagreeing over trivial things, we should look to the one that unites us all, Jesus Christ.
- Read verses 9-10.
