Sermon

We had a guest speaker at church today, and he taught from Ephesians 4:1-3:
"As 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 (restrained strength) be patient, bearing with one another in love (it is one thing to tolerate a person. It's another to yield to their weakness). Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace."

In these verses, Paul is urging us towards a reaction.

Many times, our reactions are largely disproportionate to the situation.

God gave us His Son, as an atoning sacrifice for our sins, but many times we are consumed more by the things of this world.

We are to walk in a way that displays how worthy God is of our praise. Focus on what God has done more than what we can do.

**Ethical transformation is the only worthy response to the holiness of God.
