     The growth of the Church at Ephesus depended upon believers from various races and cultures coming together as the
Body of Christ. This meant that these people had to let go of the past. They had to change. In this circumstance change is
good. Change requires us to grow and move forward or regroup; the choice to do so is up to each of us. The believers at
Ephesus had to change by getting rid of the old beliefs, old and sinful behaviors. They had to hold fast to their new beliefs
and their new relationship with God through Jesus Christ. These changes are the same that are required of each believer. We
must change. The way you used to be and act before Christ cannot continue in your new relationship with Him.
     Sometimes we hit rock-bottom. You are where you must change, but you are fearful. God has presented you the door of
promise and opportunity to change. Will you walk through that door? As believers in Christ we are also called to help others
change and to grow in Christ.
