EXPERIENCING UNITY 📖 Ephesians 4:1–10 is Paul's compelling description of Christian unity. Every saved believer, regardless of talent or skill, Jew or Gentile, male or female, is saved by the same faith in the same God. Each Christian, therefore, is part of a single, universal family of believers in Jesus Christ. At the same time, God gives different gifts to different people, so that they can serve the many roles needed to accomplish His purposes here on earth. Rather than being concerned about what gifts we might lack, each Christian can rejoice in our unity, and focus on serving God to the best of our ability. Truly understanding saving grace, as Paul explained in prior chapters, is the Christian's first motivation for living a godly life. Here, Paul encourages believers to live in way which honors that gift. In which all saved Christians are part of a single, unified family, part of the ''body'' of Christ. At the same time, different believers are given different talents. Some are called to positions of leadership and authority. All Christians should turn away from the ''old self'' we were prior to being saved. Paul's explanation of the ''new self'' includes some basic, practical steps 🙌🏾 JESUS UNIFYS Repent, Believe, Carry Your Cross & Follow Jesus #JesusUnifys #thebodyofchrist #kingdomprinciple #biblicalliving #unityinJesus #Godisgood #biblestudy #bibleverseoftheday #bibleref #scripturewithpatu #AbidingInChrist #bibleref #youversionbibleapp #youversion #Bible (at Orlando International Airport (MCO)) https://www.instagram.com/p/CW6Pzunv9SNHtM6LeiD3DvJWFbh7Grw3VakjuE0/?utm_medium=tumblr
