Transparency. Truthful service. Gentle, biblical counsel. Can such things really characterize relationships among Christians? The Holy Spirit uses Ephesians 4 to answer that question: Yes! Yes, the church can be that family where deep, genuine, sanctifying relationships thrive. This is God’s blueprint. But there’s a catch. Simply knowing the design does not make it a practical reality. Only as each of us yields to the Spirit of God in our relationships will we live out the oneness that is ours in Christ. “... you should no longer walk as the rest of the Gentiles walk... be renewed in the spirit of your mind...” Ephesians 4:17, 23 (NKJV)
