The Gift of Grace Ephesians 4:1-6

As we move into Ephesians chapter 4, the focus shifts from understanding what God has done for us to how we are to live in response. The Christian life is not about striving to earn God’s love or favor, but about resting in the finished work of Christ. Before we can “walk” in a manner worthy of our calling, we must first learn to “sit”—to rest in the truth that God’s love for us is perfect, unearned, and unchangeable. Many stumble in their faith because they try to live out Christian duties without first being rooted in the reality of God’s grace. Our obedience and desire to grow flow out of gratitude for what He has already accomplished, not as a means to gain His approval.
