Riches of Gods Grace Pauls Challenge To The Church

Ephesians 4:1PAUL’S CHALLENGE TO THE CHURCHEphesians 4:1King James Version4 I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called, Intro: The fourth chapter of Ephesians introduces a change of direction for the book. The word “therefore” in verse 1, signals this change. Paul is saying, “because of what I have said, this is what I want you to do.”To me, the first there chapters of this book are among the most thrilling and most profound in the Bible. Over the course of just 66 chapters, Paul lays out a wonderful catalogue of divine truth. I do not want to re-preach the verses we have a already studied, but I do want to refresh your minds briefly about the glorious truths we have already studied.In the first three chapters of this book, Paul’s focus has been on doctrine. He has been telling us about the doctrinal truths we believe. He has also been teaching us about our positional standing in the Lord Jesus Christ.
