Memorisation Monday

As a prisoner for the Lord, then, I urge you to live a life worthy of the calling you have received.
Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love.

Ephesians 4:1-2

Last week we began memorising Ephesians 4:1-3 (starting at verse 1). Now, onto verse 2.

The beginnings of living a life worthy of the calling we have received is to work towards unity in humility, gentleness, patience and in love.

Humility → acknowledging that we are all flawed and that God knows what is true.
Gentleness → not bullying people into belief but persuading them from the Scriptures.
Patience → giving them time to see for themselves and change
Love → bearing with one another when we don’t practice the above as well as we should.

This is a reminder I need.

Tips:

• Say the passage out loud 10 times in a row.
• Say it once before you go to sleep.
• Say it once more when you wake up.

Pray:

• Praise the Father for His patience, gentleness and love for us. 
• Give thanks for Jesus who humbled Himself to the point of death on a cross for our sake. 
• Ask God for His Holy Spirit to help you and others practice patience, humility, gentleness and love.
