In our continued study of the book of Ephesians, Paul makes a shift from talking about who we are in Christ to how we walk in Christ.  The first three chapters of Ephesians focuses on who we are, seated in the high places, wealth in Christ, chosen to be his family.  now, in chapter 4-6, Paul talks about what it is to walk.  For Paul, however, faith and walking never happen individually, rather in community.  We are in the family of God, joined together by Christ in Baptism.  we are united in faith, and, we are to walk united in this world.  Paul's emphasis, "we're all in the same boat..."  We do not exist, we cannot believe, we will not survive, separate from one another.  Doctrine means duty, belief means behavior, oue relationship with Jesus means relationship with one another.  Listen in.
