After marriage, the most personal part of our lives is how we bring up our children. With wisdom for every age and situation, Paul's outlines's God's pattern for Christian parents and Christian children.

Over chapters 4 to 6, Paul challenges his readers to 'live a life worthy of the calling they have received.' That begins with a call to maintain, with great humility, the unity God has wrought by the work of the Spirit and to all play our part in the building up of God's people. The aim is spiritual maturity and godliness of character.

So how much does God have for his people? It's deeper, wider and higher than we can ever imagine!
