Some think that evil and hate and conflict in the world are only because of physical causes. But the Bible reveals that all creation is in a spiritual battle because the whole world lies in the power of the evil one. Everyone is in this battle–and on the side of good or evil whether they realize it or not. Thankfully, believers in Christ can know the battle exists and can be growing in victory in spiritual warfare because of the insights of Ephesians 6:10-18a.

Work is a constant stress for many people, including believers in Christ. Fortunately, God’s Word in Ephesians 6:5-9 provides us with insights about growing in wellness in the workplace–a wellness that extends beyond the mental and emotional level, all the way to the spiritual level.

Marriage is challenging, and adding children to the mix can complicate things even further. But rather than suffer or try to forge our way through on our own, Ephesians 5:31-6:4 provides us with God’s guidance for growing in harmony in the home both in marriage and parenting.

People often think that their marriage is going to be made in heaven and that everything is going to be like a Hallmark movie. But marriage and family are often more challenging than anyone would expect. Fortunately, Ephesians 5:22-30 provides ways for believers in Christ to be growing in harmony in the home. This can help them experience the greatest kind of marriage and family possible.

Have you ever known believers who have walked with Christ for a long time, but they aren’t that wise? That’s not a good thing. Ephesians 5:1-21 shows us that if we’re growing in the character of Christ, then we’re going to be growing in wisdom in our walk. We want to live in the light God has given us, and not continue to live in darkness or do shameful deeds.
