Title: "Walk it Out." Eph Ch 4: 1-16   Key points: 

1. Walk in a manner worthy of your Christian life.

2. Be diligent to preserve the unity of the body of Christ. 

3. Be rooted in the truth of the gospel and teachings of Christ so that you are not mislead by the trickery of men, or deceitful scheming. 

4. Speak truth in Love.

Eph Ch 4: 1-16

Summary: As Christians we are to walk in a manner worthy of our individual calling however we are to be unified in the love of Christ, acknowledging His position as the Head of the Church. Eph 4: 4-6 reads " 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, "  (NASB)

As we mature in our knowledge of the Holy Word of God and our relationship deepens with Christ I am encouraged by the words of Paul " As a result, we are no longer to be children, tossed here and there by waves and carried about by every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, by craftiness in deceitful scheming;"  (NASB)

There is no greater love than the Love of Christ. 

In Chapter 3 Paul continues to encourage the believers of Ephesus, and helps them to recognize that their journey in Christ continues by there willingness to seek knowledge and to be strengthened with power through His Spirit in the inner man so that they are and we are able to comprehend with all the saints " what is the breadth and length and height and dept" of his love for us which surpasses our human understanding.  My family I encourage you to continue on this humble journey with Him and let go of what you think you know and absorb his truth. The transformation is outstanding, though at time challenging. 

Be encouraged and strengthened in Christ. 

Next we will be discussing our journey as a Christian: as always I love you.

Scripture: Eph 2: 1-22: 

As Christian's what is the atmosphere we promote? Think about what it is you stand for and how you stand.  Where is your voice, and how are you letting the world know about Jesus.

 Eph 2:17 And He came and Preached peace to you who were far away, and peace to those who were near; for through HIM we both have our access in one Spirit to the Father.
