FROM TODAY’S READING (1/25/2021)...
“Faithful followers of Christ Jesus”—what an excellent reputation! Such a label would be an honor for any believer. What would it take for other believers to characterize you as a faithful follower of Christ Jesus? Hold fast to your faith, one day at a time; faithfully obey God, even in the details of life. Then, like the Ephesians, you will be known as a person faithful to the Lord.”
LAB/NLT Study Note
Ephesians 1:1-2 (NLT) This letter is from Paul, chosen by the will of God to be an apostle of Christ Jesus. I am writing to God’s holy people in Ephesus, who are faithful followers of Christ Jesus. May God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ give you grace and peace.
Philippians 2:12-15 (NLT) ...Work hard to show the results of your salvation, obeying God with deep reverence and fear. For God is working in you, giving you the desire and the power to do what pleases him. Do everything without complaining and arguing, so that no one can criticize you. Live clean, innocent lives as children of God, shining like bright lights in a world full of crooked and perverse people.
