Ephesians 4:1-3 - Forbearance


Listen Later

This Sunday we will continue our series on the Virtues of Ephesians 4:1-3. Each of five Virtues listed in this passage show us what it means to walk in a manner that is worthy of our calling in Christ, and to maintain the “unity of the Spirit and the bond of peace.” Now that we have explored Humility, Gentleness, and Patience we turn our attention to Forbearance.

While Humility shows itself in relationships with others through Gentleness, Patience shows itself in relationships with others through Forbearance. We saw last week that Patience is used throughout Scripture to indicate long-suffering endurance. One of the most immediate and practical places we have to practice it is with other people. No matter who you are, proximity with others brings friction at times. In fact, it’s typically the people we are closest to, who we love most, that we struggle most with as well. At the core of what it takes to bear with each other in love is the need to forgive. In a world that has come to question the legitimacy and value of forgiveness, it is the call of every follower of Christ to forgive. This week will dig into what it means to practice Forbearance and look at practical pathways into it.
