Daily Bible Reading – July 2021, God’s Word of Faith

11 ДЕН ОД 31

July 11

Introduction

Paul says that once we were spiritually dead because of sin, but God’s abundant mercy and love brings us to new life in Christ. He says that Christ breaks down the walls that separate Jews and Gentiles, and that all who believe in Jesus are united in one body.

Today’s Scripture Reading 

Ephesians 2:1-22

Today’s Key Verse: Ephesians 2:5

"… while we were spiritually dead in our disobedience, [God] brought us to life with Christ. It is by God’s grace that you have been saved."

Reflect

Reread verses 4-10. In your own words, describe what Paul teaches about God’s grace. Reread verses 14-22. Some Jews interpreted the Law of Moses to mean that they should have no contact with Gentiles. How does Paul’s message contradict that belief? Who belongs to God’s family, according to Paul? How does someone become a part of God’s family? In what ways does your community of faith invite people to become part of God’s family?

Pray

Sovereign God, thank you for the ways in which you transcend our differences. Be present amid communities in conflict, that peace and reconciliation may replace turmoil and strife. Amen.

Prayer Concern

Communities engaged in interfaith dialogue

Tomorrow’s Reading

Ephesians 3:1-21: The apostle Paul describes his call to minister to the Gentiles.
