Ephesians 4:1-6 New Living Translation (NLT)
The LORD, our Tree of Life, calls us to come, taste, and see that God is Good (Psalm 34:8). We gather and grow as we partake of the grace flowing from our Tree. Jesus teaches he is the Vine and we are the branches of this amazing life-giving Tree (John 15:5). As we stay connected to our Source and one another we become bound (wrapped by grace) as One loving, forgiving, peacemaking and Spirit-led people who extend Hope to the world. Victory is all about making a “grace connection” to the Tree in the Father’s Vineyard or Garden. The Apostle Paul urges the Church at Ephesus to remember and apply the power outflowing their connection to God.
