Ephesians

Fifth Day: Read Ephesians 4:7-16, concentrating on verse 14.

1. From Ephesians 4:14, describe the teaching of some people that you may encounter.

2. What do you learn from the following passages regarding those who don’t teach the truth or who twist the truth and lead people astray?

1 Timothy 4:1-2

Acts 20:29-31a

Romans 16:17-18

Galatians 1:6-9

Colossians 2:4-8

2 Timothy 4:2-4

2 Corinthians 11:4,13-15

1 John 4:5-6

3. Titus 2:11-15 sums up what should be the core of all Christian teaching. What are the key points in this passage?

4. What critical lesson can we learn from the Bereans in Acts 17:11?

5. Personal. There are many false doctrines parading themselves as Christianity. When someone teaches you something, do you search God’s Word to see if it is true and lines up with the entire Bible, or do you accept the few Scriptures verses that are given you without checking the context? You are responsible for what you accept as truth. What will your attitude be from now on?
