Introduction
Paul moves from doctrine to duty — "I urge you to walk in a manner worthy of the calling to which you have been called."
Message
Unity in the body is not manufactured by uniformity, but preserved through humility, gentleness, patience, and bearing with one another in love.
Applications
- Guard the unity of your local church actively, not passively.
- Practice patience with fellow believers who irritate you.
- Remember the one body, one Spirit, one hope, one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God.
