Daily Bible Reading – May 2023, God’s Saving Word: Faith

DAY 21 OF 31

May 21

Introduction

All of us were spiritually dead because of sin, but God has restored us to life with Christ. Christ has broken down the walls that separated Jews and Gentiles and has united people of faith.

Scripture Reading

Ephesians 2:1-22

Today’s Key Verse: Ephesians 2:4, 5a

God’s mercy is so abundant, and his love for us is so great, that while we were spiritually dead in our disobedience he brought us to life with Christ.

Reflect

How is a life of disobedience to God described (verses 1-3)? According to verses 4-10, what is the source of our salvation? Have you ever felt “spiritually dead” as mentioned in verse 5. If so, what brought you back to “life in Christ?" What has Christ done to unite people of faith (verses 11-22)?

Pray

Lord God, thank you for your abundant mercy and love and for offering me life through your Son, Jesus. Renew and revive my spirit each day, and nurture me each day with your precious and holy Word. Amen.

Tomorrow’s Reading

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