A church that is intensely devoted to being the church will experience God’s blessing in an unimaginable way, but this only comes if we stay focused on living a life that is in Christ which take actions of faith.

In Ephesians 1 :1-14 Paul expresses the impact the church at Ephesus had on him. This impact was due to their faithfulness in Christ (Ephesians 1:1). This impact inspired Paul to act, but not on his own behalf but on the behalf of the church at Ephesus. When people are inspired they will couple it with their deepest and strongest belief (Ephesians 1:15-21).

Paul’s belief was the gospel and what he believed about Jesus poured out over everything that he had to say to the Ephesians because of what he heard about them. As we continue to work towards building Christ church, we need to let our faithful steps be used to reaffirm what is we say we believe. When this happens our confidence in God is strengthened and will give us an opportunity to bless and honor God.
