“with all lowliness and humility, with patience, bearing with one another in love; being eager to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.”
Ephesians 4:2-3 (WEB)
Embracing Unity Through Love
In Ephesians 4, Paul urges the believers in Ephesus to maintain unity and humility, emphasizing the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. Before this, he calls them to walk worthily of their calling, and later, he discusses the diversity of roles and the importance of growing in faith. The wording of the verse highlights 'lowliness and humility' alongside 'patience,' suggesting these virtues are closely linked in the practice of bearing with one another in love. Today, consider one relationship where you can practice patience and humility. Think of one small, specific action you can take to foster peace and unity in that relationship.
