Ephesians 4:1-16
LIVE INTO THIS
Paul has been soaring through the first three chapters of Ephesians. He has been so excited, so thrilled, so wordy(!) about what God has done. Now it’s time for the Ephesian believers to strap on their lifejackets and get ready for the ride of their lives! Doing life together has never been easy for humans. Now more than ever we’re prone to retreat to our solitary caves and keep all the annoying people at a distance. Our God has such a different plan for us!
