Ephesians 4:1-3As a prisoner for the Lord, then, I urge you to live a life worthy of the calling you have received. Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love.
Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace.

Ephesians 4:3• Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of
peace• We did not give ourselves this unity or earn it; but now that we have
entered into it; we are called to maintain it – nurture, care for, develop, protect.• This is not an easy-effort or half-hearted effort; but requires “every
effort” because it is THAT precious and essential!
