EPHESIANS: SLAVES & MASTERS

(Message by Tanny Keng)

1. Ephesians

a) The book of Ephesians is 6 chapters of sold Christian teachings! From chapter 1 to 6, in that order, you will read about: spiritual blessings in Christ, thanksgiving and prayer, grace through faith, being one in Christ, the mystery of the gospel revealed, prayer for spiritual strength, unity in the body of Christ, new life, walking in love, wives and husbands, children and parents, slaves and masters, and putting on the whole armor of God.

2. Slaves And Masters

Ephesians 6:5-6 
“Slaves, obey your earthly masters with fear and trembling, with a sincere heart, as you would Christ, not by the way of eye-service, as people-pleasers, but as servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart.”

a) Think of yourself as a slave.  Paul calls himself a “servant of Christ Jesus” in Romans 1:1.  This word is correctly defined as “slave” also.  Therefore, being a slave to Christ means living out Ephesians 6:5-6 for all believers. 


The End ...
