7 Walks in Ephesians - Worthy Walk (Eph 4:1-3)

Endeavouring to keep the unity...
The believers at Corinth were divided and Paul asked some searching questions to show up the reasons why they were divided:
  1. Question of Christ's Place (1 Cor 1:12-13) - Is Christ in His rightful place in our personal thoughts as well as when we are gathered as an assembly?
  2. Question of Carnal Practice (1 Cor 3:3-4) - Is our focus on man rather than Christ? Are we following man rather than Christ?
  3. Question of Concealed Pride (1 Cor 4:6-7) - Are we thinking too highly of our abilities and ourselves?
  4. Question of Correct Perception (1 Cor 6:7) - Are we not willing to give way or suffer wrong?
