Single Primary Meanings: Ephesians Chapter 4

~ There is one Body of Christ, I am called as a member of that body- and to use the measure of grace given to me by Christ to edify and build the body. Also, by this grace I can and have been commanded to change from my old ways which were corrupt and be transformed in my mind to be a prosperous part of the body by putting on Christ-likeness in the bond of unity and peace.

~ We as the body of Christ are to be unified in our lives together as we walk and love Christ-like lives that exemplify Christ's work in us. All these commands are things we can do only if Christ is truly in us. We are encouraged to maintain unity as believers by using our gifts that have been promised to help build the church and to grow our individual walk as Christians.

~ Believers have been called to be unified in one body, the church, and have been given a diversity of gifts to be used to help each other grow in this unity and in maturity in Christ. We are called to put off our former corrupt way of life and to demonstrate the new life that we have in Christ by loving one another and forgiving one another as God has forgiven us.
