Ephesians 6:10-24 - THE LAST ONE!!! [23]

If you are new to this blog, I encourage you to start with Intro [1] and then continue in order.

DAY 1
Read through chapter 6 and mark words that you previously marked. Read 6:10-24 and look for words that are repeated in this last section and mark some of them.

Praise God for something you read about.

DAY 2
1) What is being contrasted in v12?
2) If you did not already write them out, what are we wrestling against?

3) Compare v11 with v13 (look for similarities and differences).

4) Who are you tempted to think of as your enemies (v12)?  Talk to God about this.

5) What do you think it means to stand firm (v13)?

DAY 3
List the different parts of the armor of God and other information given about the pieces of armor.

Thank God for something or somethings in this list.

DAY 4
1) What does this passage say about prayer?
2) When or how should we pray?
3) What should we pray about?

Pray according to something Paul said.

4) What is Paul's prayer request? - notice the repetition when he is talking about prayer

5) Compare Paul's ending in 23-24 with his greeting in 1:1-2.

6) Does anything about vv21-22 surprise you?


EPHESIANS IN REVIEW
1) Think about this whole study in the book of Ephesians. What were some of the major things you learned about God or of which you increased your understanding? You may want to read or skim through the book to help you remember.  Thank and praise God for these things and that he makes himself known to us!

2) Think about things that you were convicted by. I'm sure as you did this study, you were challenged about how you think, or your attitude towards people or God. Maybe you saw that you needed to change how you talk or how you act towards certain people. Thank God for showing you this and ask him for his help. You also may want to talk to a good friend about it. Tell them what you think you should change and ask them to pray with you and for you for God's help in this.

Does the Translation Matter? [3]

If you are new to this blog, please start with 1 (Intro) and then continue in order. The first thing to do is to read through the whole book of Ephesians to get the big picture. But before you do that, you need to pick a translation. I will be using and referring to the ESV. You can use whatever translation you'd like, however, for this kind of detailed study, a word to word translation would be preferred over a thought to thought translation. The introduction to your translation may talk about this.

Ephesians 6:10-24 - My Observations [23.5]

If you are new to this blog, I encourage you to start with  Intro [1]  and then continue in order. I think I have said this before, but as with all of my observation posts, these are not necessarily the only right answers. These are my observations of the text and my answers to the questions. I have provided these for people who like to know that they are on the right track. But please don't think, just because you came up with something else, that it is wrong. On the other hand, if you come up with something that is different than you have ever heard before, it would probably be good to discuss it with a mature believer, to make sure you are on the right track. DAY 2 1) we do not wrestle against -flesh and -blood v12 BUT against 2) -against the rulers -against the authorities -against the cosmic powers over this present darkness -against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places  v12 3) v11 Put on the whole armor of God -that you may be ...

Context and Submitting "in Everything" - Thoughts on Ephesians 5:22-6:9 [22]

If you are new to this blog, I encourage you to start with  Intro [1]  and then continue in order. Before we look at any specific people, I think it would be good to get a big picture of how this section fits in with the previous section. The following is from my pastor's sermon notes (see 5:21-24) , and I think it is a good visual to help us with that - the part that starts "WATCH CAREFULLY THEREFORE HOW YOU WALK". So I think this helps us to see that wives submitting to their husbands, children obeying their parents, and bondservants obeying their earthly masters all fall under the "submitting to one another in the fear of Christ". And that goes along with giving thanks, singing and making melody, and speaking to one another in songs, which all fall under being filled in the Spirit and watching carefully how we walk. Now that we have the all-important context, I have just a few thoughts... As a wife, when I recently looked at this, I think I wa...
