Week 9

Mar 18, 2021    Emily Gilliam    Ephesians 4

Chapter 4 is the hinge of the book of Ephesians. There is a shift from the advantages and glory of being a Christian to how it effects our relationships with others. Paul has just finished praying the beautiful prayer of Ephesians 3:14-21; now he challenges the early Christians to live lives worthy of their calling.

Chapter 4 can be divided into three parts: Verses 1-6 which is a call to unity; verses 7-16 which is a call to exercise our spiritual gifts; verses 17-32 which is a call to grow up in our faith.
