19 and what is the immeasurable greatness of his power toward us who believe, according to the mighty working of his strength.  

Ephesians 1:19 (CSB)

 

 

1.  Live by faith.

 

 

15 This is why, since I heard about your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all the saints,                   

Ephesians 1:15 (CSB)

 

 

38 But my righteous one will live by faith; and if he draws back, I have no pleasure in him.,                                                        

Hebrews 10:38 (CSB)

 

 

Now without faith it is impossible to please God, since the one who draws near to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him. 

Hebrews 11:6 (CSB)

 

 

2.  Known by love.

 

 

15 This is why, since I heard about your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all the saints,                                                                      Ephesians 1:15 (CSB)

 

 

For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision accomplishes anything; what matters is faith working through love. Galatians 5:6 (CSB)

 

 

26 Then God said, “Let us make man in our image, according to our likeness. They will rule the fish of the sea, the birds of the sky, the livestock, the whole earth, and the creatures that crawl on the earth.” 27 So God created man in his own image; he created him in the image of God; he created them male and female.           

Genesis 1:26-27 (CSB)

 

 

3. Pray by faith and love.

 

 

16 I never stop giving thanks for you as I remember you in my prayers. 17 I pray that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, would give you the Spirit, of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him. 18 I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened so that you may know what is the hope of his calling, what is the wealth of his glorious inheritance in the saints, 19 and what is the immeasurable greatness of his power toward us who believe, according to the mighty working of his strength. 20 He exercised this power in Christ by raising him from the dead and seating him at his right hand in the heavens—21 far above every ruler and authority, power and dominion, and every title given,, not only in this age but also in the one to come. 

Ephesians 1:16-21 (CSB)

 

 

18 I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened so that you may know what is the hope of his calling, what is the wealth of his glorious inheritance in the saints

Ephesians 1:18 (CSB)

 

 

22 And he subjected everything under his feet, and appointed him as head over everything for the church, 23 which is his body, the fullness of the one who fills all things in every way. 

Ephesians 1:22-23 (CSB)
