- Ephesians 4 Study Guide

  1. First read Ephesians 3:16-21 - note that the basis for chapter 4 is a deep knowledge of the love of Christ.
  • As you read through Ephesians 4:1-24, consider this: We are hurt because of people, but God uses people to heal us. How have you found this to be true?
  • Notice in 4:7, 4:11-12, and 4:16, how the unity of the Body is found in a diversity of gifts. Consider how each person has need of other people who use their gifts to build up the Body. Ask yourself, "how has God limited me so that I have need of Himself and others?"
  • The goal of the gifts in chapter 4 is maturity and fullness in Christ. As you read through the chapter, what does maturity look like to you?
