Why The EphesiansProject?
The book of Romans sets forth the great doctrine and teaching to the church on how to receive faith. It sets forth God's purpose, will and desire in making every believer what he is, and in giving him what he has in Jesus Christ. Man is shown to be totally helpless and in utter depravity; but by God's grace through Jesus Christ, the believer is justified from sin;
The book of Ephesians starts with God's purpose and will for every believer. It declares in crystal clear terms the rights that every believer has been given by Jesus Christ. Believers are given the revelation of what the great mystery is and the exceeding greatness of His power to usward who believe. The saved sinners are dealt with as one body, the body of Christ;
The book of Ephesians takes believers to a higher level:
• we were sealed with the holy spirit of promise;
• we may know what is the hope of His calling and riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints;
• we are seated in the heavenlies with Christ Jesus;
• we are His workmanship created in Christ Jesus unto good works;
• we are fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God;
• we are told to walk worthy of the vocation wherewith we are called; with meekness and love, endeavoring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace;
He gave gifts unto men; for the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ;
Foundational Principles
- Love is the motivator!
Love motivates us to always seek the other person's highest good!
(KJV Romans 12:9-10) Let love be without dissimulation. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good. Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another;
(KJV Romans 13:8) Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law.
(KJV Ephesians 4:32) And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you
(KJV Ephesians 5:1-2) Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children; And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savour.
- Humble confidence is the neutralizer!
Humble confidence is needed to neutralize any pride that may creep in!
These two verses when used together will serve us well in keeping pride in check:
(KJV John 15:5) I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing
(KJV Philippians 4:13) I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me
Without Him we can do nothing, BUT, with Him we can do all things!
- Following after peace is the equalizer!
We must each strive to work together, doing those things which lead to peace and to mutual edification; the Word of God is the final authority. This peaceful and positive action is the equalizer!
(KJV Romans 14:15-19) But if thy brother be grieved with thy meat, now walkest thou not charitably. Destroy not him with thy meat, for whom Christ died. Let not then your good be evil spoken of: For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost. For he that in these things serveth Christ is acceptable to God, and approved of men.

Connect With Others
We must connect with God first; then get connected with other believers!
