When the Apostle Peter wrote “finally” it’s like he is saying, “Here’s my point” and so he tells the church there must be unity of mind just as the Body of Christ, the church, has unity in its members. What is “the bond of peace?” Unity of the Mindįirst Peter 3:8 “ Finally, all of you, have unity of mind, sympathy, brotherly love, a tender heart, and a humble mind.” Why is the expression “walk” used in Ephesians 4:1 with regards to our calling?ĭo we have to “maintain the unity of the Spirit?”Īre we “eager” to maintain this unity of the Spirit?
This is the walk “ to which you have been called.” If we are not walking in humility then God is opposed to us (James 4:6). The Apostle Paul considered himself a slave or prisoner of the Lord and as such, He walked worthily in humility and gentleness and so He admonishes the church to do the very same thing and that looks like this we walk with all humility, in patience, gentleness, and above all, bearing with one another (putting up with one another) in love.
