I urge you to live a life worthy of the calling you have received.

Ephesians 4, verse 1.

Welcome to this daily encouragement from our daily bread.

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.

Be patient, bearing with one another in love. Make every effort to keep the unity of the spirit through the bond of peace. There is one

body and one spirit, just as you were called to one hope when you were called. One Lord,

one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of

All, who is over all, and through all, and in all. And now picking up at verse 11. So Christ himself

gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the pastors and teachers, to equip his people

for works of service so that the body of Christ may be built up until we all reach unity in the

faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure

of the fullness of Christ. Then we will no longer be infants,

tossed back and forth by the waves, and blown here and there by every wind of teaching,

and by the cunning and craftiness of people in their deceitful scheming. Instead, speaking the truth

and love, we will grow to become in every respect the mature body of him who is the head, that is, Christ.

From him, the whole body, joined and held together by every supporting ligament, grows and builds itself up in love as each part does its work.
