The High Calling, Heavenly Congregation, and Humble Conduct of Church Members

Ephesians 4:1–7 is a transition that builds upon the glory of God in the church, upon which the apostle has been expounding for three members. Because being a part of Christ's building/body, and participating in Christ's project of building/growing that building/body, is to dwell upon the glory of God among those in whom He has invested His own glory... the manner of our conduct as we participate in the building ought to be humble, gentle, enduring, and patient.
