What We Owe One Another

What does a healthy church owe one another? In Ephesians 4:25–32, Paul shows that putting off the old man and living in the new means allowing Christ to reshape how we speak, handle anger, use our resources, treat others, and forgive within the body of Christ. In What We Owe One Another, the church is reminded that these commands are not an arbitrary list of rules—they are rooted in God's character, given for His glory and for our good. Believers owe one another honesty, properly governed emotions, generosity, edifying speech, kindness, tenderheartedness, and forgiveness as each member helps preserve the health, beauty, unity, and usefulness of the body of Christ.
