Today, I am giving an assignment. You do not need to turn in
your homework or papers for grading. It is an open-book assignment.

1. Read chapters 1 through 3 of Ephesians several times,
listing everything that the believer has in Christ. Thank God for each
of them.

2. Do the same thing with Colossians 1 and 2.

3. After you are fortified with all of this wonderful truth
and are rejoicing in it, then read Ephesians 4-6 and list all of the commands.

4. Repeat with Colossians 3-4.

You will find that the commands are not impossible because
of where you are in Christ.
