Articles, Bible studies, and sermons that contain Ephesians 4:1:
Ephesians 4:1-3
Excerpted from: Are You Part of the Spiritual Unity?And if they had truly seen the church as a whole, as a united body, they would not have experienced disunity. Notice how Paul articulates the doctrine of unity to the Ephesian congregation. He emphasizes essential characteristics such as humility, gentleness, and patience. Here in Ephesians 4, let us go back to verses 1 through 3. The caption in my Bible for this section is Walk in Unity.
Since God's church is a spiritual body unified by God's Spirit. These righteous characteristics are necessary, but we must complement them by seeing ourselves as members of the church, one body and one Spirit. So God's Word places great emphasis on unity and oneness.
Ephesians 4:1-3
Excerpted from: The Identifying Sign of a True Disciple of JesusPeople in our part of the world are not inclined to endure ill treatment basically from anyone. How often have you heard people say, “Well, I wouldn't put up with that for a minute!” I have heard a lot of people say that before. “I sure wouldn't put up with him!” I have heard a lot of wives say that. Putting up with ill treatment is what longsuffering is all about. We are to put up with one another. He demands it. It is part of God's Spirit. A person with God's Spirit is going to be practicing these things.
Ephesians 4:1-3
Excerpted from: God's 'Heart Measure'Here we see a related noun form of the Greek word meek Jesus uses to describe Himself. In the New King James it is translated gentleness, but in the King James it is meekness. And Paul is admonishing us to walk worthy of our calling with all, that is, with every possible amount of lowliness and meekness, every possible amount in all situations, at all times, regardless of what was done or not done, endeavoring to keep the Spirit in the bond of peace.
