Building Godly Relationships

Building Godly Relationships A Bible Study

A Study in the Book of Ephesians

Read Ephesians 4

As you read through Ephesians 4, list out specific instructions regarding relationships.

Can you find these instructions?

Be humble, gentle, bear with one another.
Keep unity.
Speak the truth.
Don't lie to each other.
Watch your anger.
Watch your words.
Be kind and forgiving.

Read Ephesians 5:1-4. What principles of relationships can we learn from these verses?

Read Ephesians 5:21 - 6:4

In the verses above, name the specific instructions to different family members.

Each family member has the same value and different roles. The self-sacrifice of the husband (modelled after Jesus) sets the tone for the family. When the husband follows his God-given instructions, it becomes so much easier for the wife and children to also follow God in their family roles.

Read Ephesians 6:5-9 - What are God's instructions to employers and employees?

Read Ephesians 6:10-18. Think about the context of relationships as you read this often quoted passage on spiritual warfare.

Point: The main target of the enemy's attack is on our relationships.

Conclusion: Fight the right enemy. And that enemy is not each other. The main way to fight the enemy of your relationships is through the Word of God and prayer.
