“Ephesians 4:1 -3 which states (1)…."I urge you to live a life worthy of the
calling
you have received".
(2)
Be
completely humble and gentle; be patient bearing with one another in love. (3) Make every effort to
keep
the
unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace; are my favorite passages of scripture because it leads
to
Christian-like Commitment, Christ-like compassion and Christ-like Character”.
