“Therefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all the saints, do not cease to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers …” Ephesians 1:15-16
Do you thank God for bringing others to faith in Jesus? St. Paul continually thanked God for graciously bringing the Ephesian believers to faith in Christ by the working of the Holy Spirit through the gospel. It is a mighty miracle of God when He sends forth His Word and the Holy Spirit and then raises the spiritually dead to spiritual life by bringing them to see and repent of their sinful ways and look to Christ and His cross for mercy and forgiveness!
Thank You, Lord, for raising me from death to life through hearing Your Word, and thank You for working mightily through the preaching of the gospel to grant faith and life to all my fellow believers. Amen.
