Having established who we are in Christ, Paul begins to show us what it means to walk in love, light, and wisdom. As we study Ephesians 5:1–6:9, we learn how walking in these ways should be reflected in both our behavior and in relationships among husbands and wives, children and parents, and those entrusted with responsibility over others.

As each generation comes and goes, culture continues to redefine marriage, usually missing God's intent for it altogether. In Ephesians 5:22-33, Paul gives us God's design for husbands and wives – a design that points to the greater picture of Christ's love for the church.

As we continue looking at the hallmarks of church unity in Ephesians 4:11-32, we take a deep dive into the evidence of good growth and the pitfalls that will lead to serious problems. As we study, we examine the behaviors that reveal whether we are growing toward Christlikeness and identify the attitudes that damage unity and grieve the Lord.

In Ephesians 4:31-32, Paul addresses a serious sin that is often ignored, excused, or misunderstood among believers. As we unpack the difficult topic of forgiveness, we discover what it truly means, why God views it so seriously, and how we can forgive others as He has forgiven us.

One of Satan’s top tactics to wreak havoc within the church is to cause division among Christians. In Ephesians 4:1–14, Paul begins a discussion on unity, teaching us how to combat this threat by walking in God’s grace, building our foundation on the Trinity, and using our gifts to bless the body of Christ.
