    In an important line, Paul is frequently understood to be referring to at least two laws, the law of Moses, which the apostle is no longer "under," and a law of Christ, which he is still "under" (1 Cor. 9:21). Jewish parallels and the Greek words Paul uses suggest, however, that it is Paul's commission to preach the gospel that can override some Mosaic laws when they hinder his mission. Paul appears to be a transgressor of Moses' law but he insists he is conducting himself lawfully with respect to Moses because of Christ who commissioned him. Dr. Paul Sloan is Associate Professor of Early Christianity at Houston Christian University. He has published Jesus and the Law of Moses: The Gospels and the Restoration of Israel within First-Century Judaism.

    Ephesians 4:7-11 - The Spiritual Gifts of Unity

    Pastor Mike Impact Ministries

    Play Episode Listen Later Dec 1, 2025 4:59


    Nowwe are looking at the unity that especially needs to be there because of thegifts of the Spirit which differ for individuals in the church. In the body ofChrist, the Church, we have different gifts, but we should still have unitybecause we need each other, with each other's Spiritual gifts to be built up inthe body of Jesus Christ. We're going to see that this is what Paul is talkingabout in these verses.  So,in these verses 7-11, Paul moves on from what all Christians have in common tohow Christians differ from each other. He's discussing the variety andindividuality within the unity of the Spirit because God has given eachbeliever at least two to three gifts. You find this taught in 1 Corinthians12:4-11: “Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit. And thereare differences of administrations, but the same Lord. And there arediversities of operations, but it is the same God which worketh all in all. Butthe manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal…..Butall these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every manseverally as He will.” Didyou notice that the “Holy Spirit gives to each man severally as Hewills." I believe that's speaking of at least maybe two to threegifts. I believe we have one primary spiritual gift along with a few others. Ialso believe we can still all practice many of the Spiritual gifts such asserving, giving, faith, and so on. You find these Spiritual gifts listed inthree main passages in the New Testament: Romans 12; here in Ephesians 4, andalso in more detail in chapters 12 through 14 in 1 Corinthians. There you'llfind the list and the discussion of Spiritual gifts by the Apostle Paul tothese three churches: The church at Rome, the church at Ephesus and the churchat Corinth.  Rememberthat the church at Corinth was having major divisions over the use and purposeof Spiritual gifts. It is also very important that we understand from 1Corinthians 12 and from this Ephesians 4 passage of Scripture that the HolySpirit gave the gifts for the unity and the building up of the body. One of thebest definitions of a Spiritual gift I have found is that: A Spiritual Gift is aGod-given ability to serve God and other members in the church in such a waythat Christ is glorified and believers are edified. Which means when the giftsare being exercised properly in the Church, they build up the others as theybuild up the body of Christ.  Thisis what Paul really keys in on here in this passage before us. We'll be lookingat these verses the next few days and how we have a wonderful Christ Who hasgiven these gifts because He's “ascended”. The Holy Spirit has beengiven to the church. He is the “gift of the Spirit” (Acts 2:38-39). Youreceive this “Gift” at the moment of your salvation. But then there are the differentgifts of the Spirit that build up the body of Christ. You personally also receiveyour specific particular gifts at the moment of your salvation even though youmight discover them at a later time. This is what we will be studying overthese next few days.  Today,do you know what your Spiritual gifts are? Godbless!

He addressed the crowd in a loud voice saying that it was because of the hope of the resurrection from the dead that he was on trial. And at that, the crowd became divided, the Pharisees and Sadducees broke out into an argument so fierce that once again the judge had to send men to rescue Paul.

    Introduction and background to the letter. Paul first addresses factionalism within the church. Paul had planted the church earlier (Acts 18) and guided it for 18 months before moving on. Apollos had then come along and continued to teach there. Apparently, some new Christians had come to believe that there was some conflict between the two. Paul denies that, comparing himself to a foundation builder and Apollos to the one who erects an edifice on the prepared foundation.

    Ephesians 4:4-6 - The Ground of Unity

    Pastor Mike Impact Ministries

    Play Episode Listen Later Nov 23, 2025 5:30


    Todaywe're looking at Ephesians 4:4-6. Yesterday we talked about the grace of unityin verses 1-3. This is a unity in the church among the members that aredisplayed in our humility, our gentleness, our longsuffering, our bearing withone another, and which we continually endeavor to keep so that the world aroundus sees our love for one another, and most of all, the great love of God forthe world through Christ and His cross. Butmy friend, we are not to compromise our foundational beliefs to experience thisunity. There are so many churches and people today that attempt to uniteChristians in a way that is not biblical. They say things like, "We're notreally interested in doctrine, but in love. Let's just love one another. Let'sset aside what we believe just love one another." My friend, that'scompromise. We cannot compromise the essentials of the faith, the foundationsof the faith. Pauldid not discuss spiritual unity in the first three chapters; he waited until hehad laid the doctrinal foundation. While not all Christians agree on some minormatters of Christian doctrine, they all do agree on the foundation truths ofthe faith. Unity built on anything other than Bible truth is standing on a veryshaky foundation. Now in verses 4-6, Paul names at least seven basic spiritualrealities that unite all true Christians. Didyou notice one word that got repeated over again? “One..”. Why? Paulis making it really clear there is a foundation, a ground for our unity. Thereis a ground for our faith that we must realize we cannot compromise. So, inessentials we have unity. In non-essentials we have liberty. But in all of ourbeliefs we have charity. We can still have truth in love. Even when we disagreeon a foundational doctrinal truth with someone else, we can still love themhopefully they can still love us.  Butwe cannot compromise the foundations of our faith which basically is JesusChrist was born of a virgin. Jesus lived a sinless life. Jesus died a vicariousdeath, a substitutionary death on the cross of Calvary. He was buried. He roseagain physically on the third day. And He ever lives to make intercession forus. There's only one way of salvation that is through faith in Jesus Christ. Churchmembership doesn't save you. Works does not save you. Just getting baptized andgetting wet doesn't save you. Only faith in Christ, believing, putting yourhope and trust in His salvation through the cross through His resurrectionpower is what saves us from the guilt and penalty of our sin. These are thefoundational truths. They cannot be compromised.  Inverse 4, Paul points out that there is “one body. Paul is speaking aboutthe one body of Christ in which every believer is a member. We find this in 1Corinthians 12:13: Ofcourse, this is the body of Christ, which is His church. Romans 6:3 teaches us that we should know: “we were baptized into the bodyof Christ”. This means that we were placed into Jesus Christ at the momentof our salvation! We are in one body in Christ. This is a spiritual realitythat we need to contemplate, think about, meditate on, believe with all of ourheart. Interestingly,every Tuesday morning at 8:30, at a local church here in Sneads Ferry NC, Imeet with a group of pastors from various denominations. For a fact, we do notagree on every specific area of church practices and beliefs when it comes tocertain ideas about tongues, about predestination, the particulars on the returnof Christ, music or whatever. But I assure you, that we all agree on theessentials of the foundation of faith. These men love one another. They prayfor one another. They love the people of God. They love the community we livein, and missions. In the four years I've been praying with them we are seeingand experiencing God do phenomenal things in our community because we arepraying in one accord. Despite the different names and denominations we are “onein Christ”.

    WhenPaul wrote the letter of 1 Corinthians, he told them, "Because you arecarnal, acting like babies, there is strife and division among you.” Someof you are saying you're of Paul. Others are saying, 'I'm of Peter.' Others  claimed to be in the Apollos crowd, while somewere saying, 'We're more spiritual than the rest because we're ofChrist.'" Because of this problem Paul wrote the First Corinthian letterto correct them because of this disunity, the disharmony, the strife anddivision that exist in the church there in Corinth. Sounds like too manychurches today! Nowin this letter to the church at Ephesus, after Paul gives them their positionin Christ, the first thing he addresses is the need to have unity of spirit,unity of heart, unity of mind, have one goal. My friend, over the years I've experiencedthat the church that's focused on Jesus, the church that's focused on who He is, on what He has done for us, focused onbeing obedient in fulfilling the Great Commission, is a church full of peoplethat will get along with each other, love each other, care for each other, worktogether for the glory of God, as they set their own agenda, ambitions, and preferencesaside.  Howimportant this is and that is what Paul is addressing in the first three verseshere. That's the unity that comes from the grace of God that we are enjoying,as we follow Him, live in Him, and walk in Him. We are to walk worthy of our callingin Christ. We do that with all “lowliness”, which of course is humility(v. 2). Jesus began His first public message with these words, “Blessed arethe poor in spirit for theirs is the kingdom of God”. The first beatitudeis being humble, being a beggar, realizing how helpless you are without theLord. The moment you think you have humility is the moment you lost it, myfriend. Because it's an attitude, where every moment of every day, you die toyourself, and you're alive in Christ unto God for the glory of God, loving oneanother. So lowliness, humility, is the first grace of unity we see. Thesecond grace of unity is “gentleness”, which also is translated “meekness”.Moses was the meekest man in all the earth. Meekness does not mean weakness. Itmeans power under control. It means you have yielded your ambitions, yieldedyour preferences. You've yielded your ownership of everything in your life tothe Lord Jesus Christ. Jesus said, “Blessed are the meek, for they shallinherit the earth”. Meekness means that you give up your right to yourselfas you die to self and you live unto the Lord and let Him live His life throughyou. A “gentle” attitude goes a long way in building unity in the church! Thenthere is “longsuffering” (v. 2). “Longsuffering”, which means “long-tempered”,is the ability to endure discomfort without fighting back. Then it goes on tosay “bearing with one another in love”. Remember, “love suffers long” (1Corinthians 13:4). Have you noticed that these graces of unity are basically thesame as the “fruit of the Spirit” that we find in Galatians 5:22; “Thefruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness,faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law”. Howwonderful. When you're filled with the Spirit, the fruit of the Spirit is beingdisplayed in your life and there is the unity.  Thenthere must be “endeavoring”. “Endeavoring to keep the unity of theSpirit…” (v. 3). Literally it reads "being eager to maintain, orguard, the unity of the Spirit." Finally, there is the grace of unitythat is “the bond of peace”. Peace within your own heart. Peace betweenmembers. We must first experience “peace with God”, then the “peace of God”that rules in our hearts that brings us to peace with one another.  Whenwe all do that, there is this grace of unity that rules in the body of Christ andthat displays the love of God to a lost world around us. May God help us to experiencethis unity today.
