Pastor Richard "Buddy" Wimberly "Love One Another" Ephesians 4:1-16

• The Jews were being told they needed to welcome in the Gentiles.
• The Jews were having an issue with accepting the Gentiles because they were living in a time where they were being isolated.
• Jesus called us to be salt and light in this world, while we're suppose to be different from the world, but we are suppose to be an example for this world and love them.
• The church should be a place where someone is from the outside and know that you care about them.
• The letter Paul was writing was to the church.
• God called us to be ambassadors and ministers of God. We can't be a minister of God until we, ourselves, are fully living a life for Christ.
• Paul was talking to the believers, not to those outside of the church.
• We may not agree on everything; however, that doesn't mean we shouldn't love each other.
• The greatest witness we have is our walk.
• The individuals in a church must yield themselves to the Love of Christ.
• We need to be a melting pot for those who are coming into the church.
• We are not under the law, we are under grace.
• It doesn't matter what other people do, we need to keep our eyes focused on God.
• We received the love of Christ, in turn we should love others freely.
• It's easy to love others because we are under One Body, One Christ and One Faith.
• Before we can love those on the outside, we need to first love and accept those on the inside.
