As we close out our series "I am a Church Member", we take some time to consider the reality of church membership - that it's a gift of God's good grace on our lives, and that we shouldn't do anything to take advantage of that gift or neglect our proper care for this gift. And we can accomplish this by receiving the gift, responding to the gift, and re-gifting the gift!

The Apostle Paul's words to the church in Ephesus have been so central to the Christian faith and, establishing who we are in Christ, and how we are to live in Christ. In all we do, we are called to "walk in a manner worthy of our calling" and to be "eager to maintain unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace." In part 2 of our series about biblical church membership, unity needs to be our driving force. In a world that is so divisive, and where division even finds its way in the Church, unity is one of the foundational aspects of the body of Christ.
