Undivided > Ephesians 3:20-21

3:20 The power of God. Paul has taken the past three chapters to show that the Gospel of Jesus Christ brings reconciliation – both between sinful humans and their creator, but also with one another, which reflects the power of Christ to save. The Lord is at work building and unifying a people for Himself, for His own glory.

3:21 The worship He deserves. Because of the marvelous grace of the Lord and on account of His mercy to sinners in reconciling us and working in us through the Holy Spirit, we – in turn – glorify Him, both by how we act as a church and how we respond to and worship Jesus Christ.

The Point: The gospel is not only a message of how to “get saved,” but also about what salvation really means. Reconciliation with our God has been achieved by Jesus Christ. We, in turn, display, enjoy, and testify to that reconciliation in the church through our unity as we worship the King together.

Prayer: Heavenly Father, what an amazing reality we see here! Your grace and mercy to us in Christ transforms us, both as individuals and as a church. It accomplishes this transformation across every dividing line, testifying to Your great power and wisdom, which is why we praise You.

Application: Unity is a big deal to Jesus – is it a big deal to you? How are the ways that you act and speak and care for others displaying the unity brought about by Christ’s gospel?

Here is how I will apply these truths: ___________________
