"Therefore," Ephesians 4:1.
Therefore? Thus? Consequently? Consequently what? Hmm. Well. Before Therefore. The word, Therefore, refers to something before it. So. What came before Therefore? This: We have been saved by grace through faith and God's power works within us. Ah! Now, Therefore. Therefore, that is, in light of God's previous saving action, this now: Walk worthy. We walk worthily of God's call to us. We live out our lives in a way that fits his invitation. What's it look like? Like ... Humility. Gentleness. Patience. Tolerance. Love. Unity. Peace. Therefore, because God has already saved us, walk like that.
We walk beside a brother or sister today forgiving each other in the love for Christ. And, together, we speak thanksgivings and praises to the One who worked completely for our life.
