Ephesians 1:15-18

What are some things you do to try to please God?

Do you do those things out of love or because you think you should?

faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all the saints.• Verse 16 “I have not stopped giving thanks for you,

remembering you in my prayers.• “Agape” love• which strives with people and seeks their best as it relates to

their relationship with God• which loves when others may not love you back• God sent His son and only Son into the world that we might

live through him.• Faith and love must go hand in hand

• 1: 17 “I Keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better
