Because we love the church, we desire her best. We desire that our own local church, as well as the global church, experience more and more of the best of God’s gifts, being remade into the image of the Lord Jesus Christ. We desire to change from the way we are to the way we are destined to be. This matter of the church changing as it conforms to Jesus Christ is a major theme Ephesians 4. But the all-important question is, how do Christians change? We will begin to study the answer to this in Ephesians 4:17–24.
