There is so much stuff in these chapters, lot of advice on the way to behave as a Christian:

3:12 In him and through faith in him we may approach god with freedom and confidence.

3:16 I (Paul) pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in our inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. I need to pray for this!

3:18 "...may have power, together with all the Lord's people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ.


Ephesians 4:

(v2) Be completely humble and gentle, be patient, bearing with one another in love.

(v23) "to be made new int he attiutde of your minds..."

Ephesians 6: The Supernatural Spiritual Battle

6:11-18
Put on the full armor of god - Why - so that you can take your stand agaisnt the devil's schemes

For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, butagainst the rulers, against the authorities, against the power of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly relams.

Therefore, put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of eveil comes, you may be able to stand your ground

Belt of truth
Breastplate of righteousness
Feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace
Shield of fatih - why- to extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one
Helmet of salvation
Sword of the Spirit - which is the word of God

Pray pray pray
