Ephesians

Third Day: Review Ephesians 4:7-16, concentrating on verses 7-12.

1. a. As we read in Ephesians 4:7, grace has been given to each of us. In this passage “grace” refers to spiritual gifts that have been given to us. How does Romans 12:6a confirm this?

b. All Christians have a spiritual gift. From Ephesians 4:11, name some of the spiritual gifts God has given to the body of Christ.

2. From Ephesians 4:12, what is the purpose of these spiritual gifts?

3. Read 1 Peter 4:10-11. What do you learn about how we should use our spiritual gifts, and about the ultimate goal of these gifts?

4. What do you learn about our Christian service from the following verses?

Galatians 5:13

Ephesians 6:7

5. Personal: What is your attitude toward your brothers and sisters in Christ? Do you eagerly serve them? Name some ways you can help the body of Christ. What is your attitude toward those who endeavor to help you grow in the Lord? Will you take time this week to express your gratitude to them and to the Lord for giving them to you?
