Caring Through Behavior
Certain ways of acting and speaking are associated with our former lives when we did not know Christ. We need to abandon that old way of thinking that got us into so much trouble.
Caring Toward Maturity
God gives to the church, not just his Spirit and not just his salvation, but also his ministers—gifted individuals such as apostles, prophets, evangelists, and pastor-teachers.
Caring Toward Unity
Our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, just hours before he was crucified, petitioned the Father on our behalf. He prayed for us, “that they may be one as we are one.”
Caring As Calling
The Apostle Paul was absolutely certain about his calling in life. Often he describes with great emotion his encounter with Christ on the road to Damascus and the subsequent call to carry the good news to the Gentiles.
God's Caring Way: Incarnation
The extent to which God cares is best illustrated in all that he has done through his One and Only Son, Jesus.
God's Caring Purpose: Transformation
We were dead spiritually when Christ found us. The Apostle describes with brutal honesty the nature of our lives before we came to Christ.
God's Caring Context: Relationships
God’s blessing is an expression of his concern for us. He is drawing us into the circle of his love. He wants us to know him better.
God's Caring Choice: Blessing
God chooses to bless us, to pour out his favor upon us. He holds nothing back but gives to us “every spiritual blessing in Christ” (Eph. 1:3).
Grace and Peace to You: Purpose
God’s will is good. He wants good things for us. He brings about his will in our lives as we follow and obey him—as we are faithful.
