Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we boast in the hope of the glory of God. Not only so, but we also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us. - Romans 5

T.C. told me yesterday that if I don’t understand Ephesians 1-3, then I cannot understand Ephesians 4-6. For him, being married and stuff, he’s focused on Ephesians 5 aka the marriage chapter in the Bible. But if he doesn’t understand 1-3, he will be unable to believe in the truth that is contained in chapter 5 and live it out for his wife. The same goes for me. I focus a lot on Ephesians 4, but no matter how hard I try to pursue it, it won’t come alive because Ephesians 1-3 hasn't come alive for me yet. I will be living in a fake ideal Christian world instead of the real and broken world around me. So…I guess read Ephesians 1-3 over and over again until the Holy Spirit converts theology in to living, breathing Truth (or just wait until HS does His thing)?
