Paul urges believers to live in a manner worthy of their calling in Christ, emphasizing qualities such as humility, gentleness, patience, and love. He stresses the idea of maintaining unity through the bond of peace. Paul likens the Church to a body, with Christ as the head and individual believers as its various parts, emphasizing the interconnectedness and mutual dependence of believers within the community.
Spiritual leaders have the various roles of apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, and teachers. These gifts are given to equip the members of the Church for service and to promote spiritual maturity. Those who follow Jesus grow to become more like Jesus.
