—Ephesians 4:1-6
by: Ellen Olson.
This verse calls for believers to bear with one another in love. This can be tricky sometimes, especially if the person is really annoying. Paul, however, gives us some pointers on how to do this. We need to be humble. Thinking less of ourselves often helps us get along better with others. We need to be gentle. Remember the other person is fragile. We need to be patient. God is certainly patient with us. We need to maintain unity in the church. Stay focused on our church’s mission and that all believers are an important part of that mission. If we remember these things we can more easily bear with one another in love.
