Ephesians 6

Commentary

Ephesians 6 is a powerful chapter that speaks to the importance of spiritual warfare and the need to be prepared for it. Paul begins by reminding the Ephesians of their duty to obey their masters, whether they are believers or not. He then goes on to explain that the battle they are fighting is not against flesh and blood, but against spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. He encourages them to put on the full armor of God so that they can stand firm against the schemes of the devil. He also reminds them to pray in the Spirit and to be alert and persistent in their prayers. Paul then goes on to explain the importance of living in unity with one another. He encourages them to be humble and gentle, bearing with one another in love. He also reminds them to put on the new self, which is created in righteousness and holiness. Finally, Paul encourages the Ephesians to be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. He reminds them that God is able to do far more than they can ask or imagine. He concludes by blessing them with peace and grace. Ephesians 6 is a powerful reminder of the importance of spiritual warfare and the need to be prepared for it.
