—Ephesians 4:1-8, 11-16
by: Grace Crouch.
Paul instructed the church to live worthy of their calling. Then he explained what characteristics living worthy includes. Meditate on verses 2 and 3 and how these qualities connect to verses 11-16. Apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, and teachers are to equip the body for the work of the ministry. It is their job to exemplify a life worthy of their calling in gentleness, bearing with one another in love, and keeping the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. They are to do this for the purpose of maturing the body to walk in the same manner.
