Ephesians 4.28: Continuing to teach us how to live in the new self, Paul calls us to lives of generosity instead of lives of selfish thievery. How does this apply to our lives, since most of us aren’t petty thieves? Or are we all tempted to this in different ways? The path of Christ guides us to true riches that are found in Christ’s obedience. Following him, we do the work of the kingdom that we might be generous as he was generous to us.
