Most of us live as if God’s love is something to earn.
If I pray enough, obey enough, serve enough, read enough, then maybe God will be pleased with me.
But Ephesians flips that thinking upside down.
Paul doesn’t tell us to behave like God’s children so that we can become God’s children. He reminds us that we are already loved, already adopted, already welcomed through Christ. Our obedience flows from our identity, not the other way around.
The Christian life isn’t about performing for God’s approval. It’s about learning to live from it.
When you know whose you are, it changes how you live.
“Ephesians 5:1 - Therefore be imitators of God, as dearly loved children.”
