Ephesians 4:1-2

New International Version 1984 (NIV1984)

 

 

 

Unity in the Body of Christ

4 As a prisoner for the Lord, then, I urge you to live a life worthy of the calling you have received. ² Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love.



God has chosen us to be Christ's representives on earth. In light of this truth, Paul challenges us to live lives worthy of the calling we have received - the awesome privilege of being called Christ's own. This includes being humble, gentle, patient, understanding, and peaceful. People are watching your life. Can they see Christ in you? How well are you doing as His representative?

(Being Christ's representative is "pleasing to the Lord". Ephesians 5:10)
