In Ephesians 4 “Paul highlights the gifts of Christ that make us His Body; as one Body, we are protected from the dangers of our times. Modern individualism and consumerism make it easy to treat the Church as “all about me.” Thanks be to God, the Church is all about Jesus, who provides for our salvation and edification."

Lord, bind us together by the truth proclaimed by Your faithful ministers. Amen.

(Excerpt From The Lutheran Study Bible notes for Ephesians 4:1-16)
