April 8 – Devotion on Ephesians
Eph4:32: Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.
In Vs 32, Paul says let these three qualities be the evidence of God’s control of your life. Be kind. It is the quality of being friendly, generous, and considerate. It flows from love, mercy, and grace.
Be compassionate. This is a feeling of showing sympathy and concern for others. Understanding, concern, and empathy towards others. Any outward sign of love. Jesus said people will know we are his disciples by the way we love one another.
Forgive one another. This is a choice and must be done immediately. Paul says you do it because you have been forgiven. This is the reason we forgive. We also know forgiveness is the key to getting rid of all these negative expressions Paul talked about.
