Chapter 3 focuses on "the mystery of Christ".As I read through, I can't understand how much love God has for us. It's so great that I can't begin to comprehend how much he truly loves me. Why do you think God created man in the first place? Do you think He was bored or lonely? Or maybe He has so much love, since He actually IS love, that He wanted to share it.
Chapter 4 talks about unity, spiritual gifts, being a new person in Christ, and not grieving The Holy Spirit.
- What does it mean to grieve The Holy Spirit? (verses 25-32)
- Verses 1-6, discuss unity and walking "worthy of the calling with which you were called."
- Spiritual Gifts (verses 7-16) Do you know what your spiritual gifts are? Do you use them?
Chapter 5 - Love, Light and Wisdom - some highlights:
- Verse 2 mentions sacrifice to God for a sweet-smelling aroma. In an earlier post I made reference to "the fragrance of Christ". What is this? How can we walk in love?
- Verses 8 and 9 talk about how we were once darkness but now we are light in The Lord, then verse 10 says "finding out what is acceptable to The Lord." What does this mean? How can we find out what is acceptable to God?
- Verses 15-21 talk about walking in wisdom. Please read these verses and think about these:
- 16 What is redeeming the time?
- 17 Understand what the will of The Lord is. (How can you understand God's will? Why does Paul instruct us to understand God's will? )
- 21 Submitting to one another in the fear of God. (What does this mean?)
