In the last three chapters of the book of Ephesians, Paul centers on the practical—how all that we understand about God shapes our interactions with one another. Last week, Paul talked about “taking off and putting on” the “old versus the new.” Take off sin, put on righteousness; take off lying, put on truth. Paul continues these thoughts by discussing the importance of conveying truth without sinning.

The book of Ephesians has a beautiful trajectory to it that starts with a rich theology found in the first three chapters: salvation from God’s point of view in chapter one, salvation from a human point of view in chapter two, and how those both come together in chapter three. Chapter four of Ephesians starts with the word “therefore” and reminds us that chapters 4-6, while practical, are based on the theology of chapters 1-3. We cannot live practically unless we know what we believe; in other words, doctrine shapes what we do.
