以弗所書四章1-3節
神的小僕人
 
經文:
1 我為主被囚的勸你們,既然蒙召,行事為人就當與蒙召的恩相稱。
2 凡事謙虛,溫柔,忍耐,用愛心互相寬容,
3 用和平彼此聯絡,竭力保守聖靈所賜合而為一的心。
 
保羅被囚在監獄的時候,寫信給以弗所教會,特別提醒他們,作為信徒,他們的行事為人該要與得救的恩典相稱,保羅更特別提及我們要保持合一的心,合一不是單一,而是彼此謙和,互相體諒。
 
今天的世界到處都是紛爭,在家中我們爭吵,在工作的地方我們爭競,甚至在教會我們也有不和的時候,但我們被基督救贖的人,可以學習的就是竭力追求和平,我們可以學習吃虧,學習謙卑,學習看重别人的益處,不求自己的益處,這就是保羅所說的信徒生命。
 
生命被上帝重新塑造,成為新的人,新的生活方式。
 
Ephesians 4:1-3
 
Paul was imprisoned while he wrote to the Ephesians.  In his letter he asked the believers to live a life worthy of our call.  In other words he wanted us to live a life according to the instructions of God since we are saved by Him.  Paul particular mentioned about unity, that is harmony, despite differences we have.
 
The world is full of disputes and competition, it happens at home where we quarrel, at work where we compete and even in the church where we disagree. Unity and harmony can only be maintained if we learn to be humble, to sacrifice and to be thoughtful for others.
This is the God-desired life of converted believers. 
 
God re-creates each believer and makes us a new person with a new way of living.
