Any time we see the word "therefore" in Scripture, we ought to ask what it's there for? So when Paul writes in Ephesians 4, "I therefore, a prisoner for the Lord, urge you to walk in a manner worthy of the calling to which you have been called..." we should keep in mind all that has preceded this verse. For three chapters, Paul has been explaining in vivid detail the great and glorious news of the gospel. Only then does Paul speak to how we ought to respond to it. The imperative [Law] flows out of the indicative [Gospel].
Come join us Tuesday, August 17th at 6PM as we study what it means for Paul to walk worthy of our great Christian calling. We will have a time of fellowship before the study. Meeting place is: 2916 Carta Taza, San Clemente, CA 92673.
