Words of Encouragement – Gentleness

Ephesians 4:1-7

Therefore I, a prisoner for serving the Lord, beg you to lead a life worthy of your calling, for you have been called by God. 2 Be humble and gentle. Be patient with each other, making allowance for each other's faults because of your love. 3 Always keep yourselves united in the Holy Spirit, and bind yourselves together with peace.

4 We are all one body, we have the same Spirit, and we have all been called to the same glorious future. 5 There is only one Lord, one faith, one baptism, 6 and there is only one God and Father, who is over us all and in us all and living through us all. 7 However, he has given each one of us a special gift according to the generosity of Christ. (NLT)

Only scripture says it best. We are to live a life worthy of our calling and it is God who has called us to this life in Christ that we are to live. We are to be humble, gentle and patient with each other. We are to forgive and to make allowances for each other’s faults because of the love of Christ. We have all been called by God to one body, one Spirit, one Lord, one faith, one baptism and one future all in Christ. We each have received a special gift according to the generosity of Christ. There is only one God and Father, who is over us all and in us all and living through us all. Therefore we are to live each day for the Lord and not for ourselves but letting our lives shine forth for Christ as beacons to the world.
