The Church: Walking Worthy of Her Calling

All things are for God's glory:

• God is creating a new humanity, the church
• God describes them as a building
• God is able to work in the church by the power of the Holy Spirit that he has granted to us
• God aims to display his glory to all creation, through the church... this is our calling

How do we walk in a matter worthy of our calling?
1 - We are to be diligent to preserve the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace (vv. 1-6)
2 - The attaining of the unity of the faith and the knowledge of the Son of God (v. 13)

Application:

• This call is given to everyone in the church
  -- You can't fulfill the "one another's" without another
• We are going to have to grow up into our head, which is Christ
  -- Come to church, read the Bible, study, family worship

Outline:
We are called to the unity of the Spirit vv1-3

• Theological ground for our unity vv4-6
  A call to unity of the faith vv7-16
  Spiritually provided for by the gifts of Christ and the common possession of the church (labors of word and doctrine)
