Equipping: Paul Gives theTools to Do the Job
Paul provides some tools for his readers to live in the way God intends for them to live. He informs them they are saved by grace (Eph. 2:8, 9) and created to do good works (2:10). Then he equips them for these good works with divine tools, explaining how they have been delivered from darkness and transformed into new persons (2:14–16) and a new building (2:19–22).
Paul labored hard to unleash the church and prepare its members for service. If we pursue the same goal, we must embrace the following assumptions:
- Everyone wants to feel worthwhile.
- Everyone needs and responds to encouragement.
- People buy into the leader before they buy into the plan.
- Most people don’t know how to be successful.
- People are naturally motivated.
- Most people will move once they receive permission and equipping.
