Walk in a manner worthy of the calling to which you have been called, with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love.

From Ephesians 4:1-2


Race to the Bottom
Ephesians 4:1-6




In a world that celebrates strength and self-promotion, humility, gentleness, and patience can seem out of place. Yet these are the very qualities that defined the life of Jesus. Ephesians 4:1-6 calls us to “lead a life worthy of the calling to which you have been called, with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love.” Scripture reminds us that “love is patient and kind,” and we are called to reflect Christ’s enduring love, especially when life is hard or others fail us.
