Paul said that there was a way we should walk through this life: worthy walking and we talked of that much in the previous lesson. Three keys to worthy walking are humility, gentleness, and patience. Walking worthy is not just a duty or payback for all that God has done for us. It is heaven’s style of life. It is God’s pattern, the very best shape.
Eager to unity
1 I
therefore , a prisoner for the Lord, urge you to walk in a manner worthy of the calling to which you have been called, 2 with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love, 3 eager to maintain the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. (Ephesians 4:1-3–ESV)
Gentleness, humility, and patience are practical steps that are to flow from the heart, the source motivation. Paul teaches renewed motivation in these verses as the unity of the Spirit. Paul urges them, “Be eager for unity; strive for peace.”
