Notice the themes that are present in both your reading today and yesterday. Both emphasize a growing relationship with Jesus that is constant and growing. Paul wants us to have a relationship with the King of Kings. The best way to build a relationship is through quality time spent with that person, just like it is with any friendship.
Learn
Notice what Paul mentions are the results of a life rooted in Christ. He says that we will “Abound in knowledge,” “Be able to discern,” “be filled with the fruit of righteousness,” “gain wisdom and understanding,” and “share in the inheritance.” A life walking with God is not a fruitless or useless walk. When we walk with Him, we experience His blessings and we are then able to bless others.

Look back at how much you’ve grown as a person, and how much you’ve grown in your relationship with Christ in the last 5 years. Do those two correlate? What does this say about your daily walk?

About this Plan
There is no greater joy in life than one with Jesus first. The book of Ephesians teaches us that the gospel unites and motivates us to live for Christ. Through Christ's sacrifice, we receive God's love, forgiveness, and deliverance. This new identity in Christ calls us to imitate Him in all aspects of our lives, including our relationships and our battle against the darkness in the world.
