A Life Worthy Of The Calling

As a prisoner for the Lord, then, I urge you to live a life worthy of the calling you have received. Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love. Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace. There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called to one hope when you were called; one Lord, one faith, one baptism; one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all.

Ephesians 4:1-6

The church of Ephesus during the time of the apostle Paul was comprised of both rich and poor, Jews and Gentiles, men and women, masters and slaves. And where differences exist, so does friction. Once concern Paul wrote about was the issue of unity.

Unity already exists because believers share one body, one Spirit, one hope, one Lord, one faith, one baptism, and one God and Father if all.

Unity among believers comes from our union with Christ.
