Sunday: The Unity of the Spirit
Read Ephesians 4:1-16. How does Paul encourage believers to nurture the unity of the church?
Paul begins the second half of Ephesians (chapters 4-6) with a stirring call to unity, but in two major parts. First, in Ephesians 4:1-6 he asks believers to nurture “the unity of the Spirit” by exhibiting unity-building virtues (Ephesians 4:1-3), a call he supports with a poetic list of seven “ones” (Ephesians 4:4-6).

Second, in Ephesians 4:7-16, Paul identifies the victorious, exalted Jesus as the Source of grace in people who lead in sharing the gospel (Ephesians 4:7-10) and describes how they, together with all church members, contribute to the health, growth, and unity of the body of Christ (Ephesians 4:11-16).
As the chapter begins, Paul invites Christians to “walk in a manner worthy of the calling to which you have been called” (Ephesians 4:1, ESV). He used the verb walk in the figurative sense of to behave, or to live (see Ephesians 2:2, Ephesians 2:10; Ephesians 4:17; Ephesians 5:2, Ephesians 5:8, Ephesians 5:15). When Paul refers to their calling, he refers to the call to Christian faith (Ephesians 1:18; Ephesians 2:4-6, Ephesians 2:13). Paul urges believers to practice a unifying behavior that reflects God’s ultimate plan (Ephesians 4:9-10). He begins that emphasis here with his call to practice virtues that lead to unity (Ephesians 4:1-3), such as humility, gentleness, and patience.
Let’s look at each term.
Paul elsewhere explains the term humility, in Ephesians 4:2 (ESV; lowliness in NKJV), by adding the idea to “count others more significant than yourselves” (Philippians 2:3, ESV). Humility, then, may be understood not as a negative virtue of self-deprecation (see Colossians 2:18, Colossians 2:23) but as a positive one of appreciating and serving others.
Gentleness (Ephesians 4:2, ESV, NKJV) may be explained as “the quality of not being overly impressed by a sense of one’s self-importance” and also means “courtesy, considerateness, meekness.” — Frederick Danker, ed., Greek-English Lexicon of the New Testament and Other Early Christian Literature, 3rd ed. (Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 2000), p. 861.
Finally, patience (ESV; compare longsuffering, NKJV) is being able to bear up under provocation or trials.
These qualities, then, all gather around the theme of turning away from self-importance and, instead, focusing on the value of others.
| Humility, gentleness, patience. Think about how these attributes would help unify us as a people. How do we learn to cultivate these virtues? |
Amen!

Un desafío a la geología diluviana adventista
Es una doctrina oficial adventista del séptimo día que Dios hizo los cielos y la tierra recientemente, en “seis días literales que, junto con el sábado, constituyeron la misma unidad de tiempo que hoy llamamos semana” (Creencia fundamental #6).

Gissela and Kids in Tune – Be Thou My Vision
Everything becomes brighter and clearer when God is our vision. "Be Thou My Vision" by Gissela and Kids in Tune was originally aired at the 2022 General Conference Session. The group is from the United States and is part of the North American Division of the Seventh-day Adventist Church. Lyrics: Be Thou my Vision, O Lord of my heart;
Naught be all else to me, save that Thou art
Thou my best Thought, by day or by night,
Waking or sleeping, Thy presence my light. Be Thou my Wisdom, and Thou my true Word;
I ever with Thee and Thou with me, Lord;
Thou my great Father, I Thy true son;
Thou in me dwelling, and I with Thee one. Riches I heed not, nor man’s empty praise,
Thou mine Inheritance, now and always:
Thou and Thou only, first in my heart,
High King of Heaven, my Treasure Thou art. SUBSCRIBE to the official Seventh-day Adventist Church channel: https://www.youtube.com/@AdventistOrgChurch FOLLOW (song artist): @gisselak
