What is a Christ-like marriage supposed to look like? What causes so many to fail? Husbands and Wives both have roles they are supposed to play, but understanding them in light of Christ is key to keeping a relationship healthy and full of life.

Over the last several verses, Paul has been calling us to a new way of living with a new set of standards. Starting in chapter 5, he now moves from the obligations of Holy behavior to the motivations behind them. Why are we to live Holy lives? What is the motivation behind becoming a new creation?

As we grow into maturity in our Christian walk, we begin to take off rags of our old life and put on the garments of the new life. What find out however, is that the change must happen inside of us before it can be shown on the outside.

What does it mean to be renewed in our minds and put on the new self? Being a Christian redefines our identity and therefore points us in a new direction of purity and walking in the light. We are awakened to who we truly are as a being made in the image and likeness of God!

Why do we go to church? The more mature we get in our faith, the more we realize that we are meant to be in community with other people. We are called to be a part of the Body of Christ, His Church, where we find our identity and purpose.

Spiritual growth is an essential part of our relationship with God. What we will discover, however is that it takes us as individuals, God, and His Community (the Church) all working together!

Paul is in prison when he is writing this letter. He can see people starting to wonder how could God allow such a man, with his gifting, calling, talent, and passion to languish in captivity. If Paul is truly a servant of God, and God has really given him resurrection power and seated him with The Son in the heavens, how can bad stuff happen to him?

Racism is not an issue that is new to us as a culture. In the days of Paul, there was a dividing wall between Jews and Gentiles. The good news of Jesus is that He came to break down the wall and destroy the "Us vs. Them" mentality. In Christ, we are all one humanity.

Although Christ died, God resurrected and exalted him. In the same way, we also were dead in our sin, but God resurrected and exalted us through and with Christ!

Prayer is far from being a man-driven monologue toward God as our audience. It is actually a dialogue that leads to discovery of who God is and who we are in Christ.
