Ephesians:  Gospel-Shaped Relationships. Part 3:  Truth TellersPaul spends three chapters reminding believers in Ephesus who they are in Christ; a new identity that shapes their relationships with each other. After establishing their gospel identity, Paul provides a list of behaviors to abandon and virtues to embrace, explaining the reason behind each instruction. Lying is a behavior that breaks trust and destroys community. By contrast, honesty builds and deepens our connections with each other.
