Here are a few excerpts from Paul’s letter to the Ephesians where he discusses unity in the body of Christ and living as children of light.
“Therefore, I, a prisoner for serving the Lord, been you to lead a life worthy of your calling, for you have been called by God. Always be humble and gentle. Be patient with each other, making allowance for each other’s faults because our your love. Make every effort to keep yourselves united in the Spirit, biding yourselves together with peace. For there is one body and one Spirit, just as you have been called to one glorious hope for the future. There is one Lord, one faith, one baptism and one God and Father, who is one all and in all and living through all. ” Ephesians 4:1-6 (NLT)
“Stop telling lies. Let us all tell our neighbors the truth, for we all are parts of the same body. And don’t let the son go down while you are still angry, for anger gives a foothold to the devil.” Ephesians 4:25-26 (NLT)
“An do not bring sorrow to God’s Holy Spirit by the way you live. Remember, He has identified you as His own, guaranteeing that you will be saved on the day of redemption.
Git rid of all bitterness, rage, anger, harsh words, and slander, as well as all type of evil behavior. Instead, be kind to each other, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, just as God though Christ has forgiven you.” Ephesians 30-32 (NLT)
