Come, walk through the Word.
The worthy walk begins with humility, patience, love, and one shared hope. Come without hurry. Paul joins practical gentleness to the confession of one body, Spirit, Lord, faith, baptism, and Father, while Christ gives grace to each. Listen first for what grace has already done in Christ.
Ephesians 4:1–10
1I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called,
2With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love;
3Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.
4There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling;
5One Lord, one faith, one baptism,
6One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.
7But unto every one of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ.
8Wherefore he saith, When he ascended up on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men.
9(Now that he ascended, what is it but that he also descended first into the lower parts of the earth?
10He that descended is the same also that ascended up far above all heavens, that he might fill all things.)
Stay with the movement.
