“Wherefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus, and love unto all the saints” Ephesians 1:15

“Wherefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus, and love unto all the saints” Ephesians 1:15

“wherefore” – something will be said or will be done because of something that has been said or has been done.

Is their identity our identity? Is their purpose our purpose? Is what was said about the Ephesian church what can be said about this church? Is their identity our identity? Is their purpose our purpose?

“Wherefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus, and love unto all the saints” Ephesians 1:15

“after I heard” – speaks of specific information. A report containing specific information was spoken to the Apostle Paul personally.

What’s the word about Antioch? What are you saying about your church?

“faith” – trust, dependence. The report was that this church was a dependent church.

“in the Lord Jesus” – the location of their dependence. “your” – speaks of what belongs to someone, emphasizing possession.

“Wherefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus, and love unto all the saints” Ephesians 1:15

Loving one another is the one thing, the one teaching of Jesus that has the single greatest impact. This should be the report of every church!

“By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.” John 13:35

Every church has a report, they are known in the community for something. What are people saying about Antioch?

The One on Whom we depend is the One Who died for our sins to make us at-one with the Heavenly Father. He will do the same for you!
