The Priority of Unity - Ephesians 4:2-6
Now, we are going back to the book of Ephesians, so open your Bible to Ephesians chapter 4. And you know that it’s been really weeks and months that we have been talking about the issue of unity in the church. We have been talking about unity because this is what Paul keeps talking about in this epistle over and over again. And we’re still there; and even after this morning, we won’t be done with this issue. It’s so very important. I hope to make that clear to you today. The text that we’re looking at—and this will be our fourth look at this text—is Ephesians 4:1-6. Let me read it to you.
“Therefore I, the prisoner of the Lord, implore you to walk in a manner worthy of the calling with which you have been called, with all humility and gentleness, with patience, showing tolerance for one another in love, being diligent to preserve the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. There is one body and one Spirit, just as also you were called in one hope of your calling; one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all who is over all and through all and in all.”
