Ephesians 4:4
_ _ In the apostle’s creed, the article as to THE CHURCH properly follows that as to THE HOLY GHOST. To the Trinity naturally is annexed the Church, as the house to its tenant, to God His temple, the state to its founder [Augustine, Enchiridion, c. 15]. There is yet to be a Church, not merely potentially, but actually catholic or world-wide; then the Church and the world will be co-extensive. Rome falls into inextricable error by setting up a mere man as a visible head, antedating that consummation which Christ, the true visible Head, at His appearing shall first realize. As the “SPIRIT” is mentioned here, so the “Lord” (Jesus), Ephesians 4:5, and “God the Father,” Ephesians 4:6. Thus the Trinity is again set forth.
_ _ hope — here associated with “the Spirit,” which is the “earnest of our inheritance” (Ephesians 1:13, Ephesians 1:14). As “faith” is mentioned, Ephesians 4:5, so “hope” here, and “love,” Ephesians 4:2. The Holy Spirit, as the common higher principle of life (Ephesians 2:18, Ephesians 2:22), gives to the Church its true unity. Outward uniformity is as yet unattainable; but beginning by having one mind, we shall hereafter end by having “one body.” The true “body” of Christ (all believers of every age) is already “one,” as joined to the one Head. But its unity is as yet not visible, even as the Head is not visible; but it shall appear when He shall appear (John 17:21-23; Colossians 3:4). Meanwhile the rule is, “In essentials, unity; in doubtful questions, liberty; in all things, charity.” There is more real unity where both go to heaven under different names than when with the same name one goes to heaven, the other to hell. Truth is the first thing: those who reach it, will at last reach unity, because truth is one; while those who seek unity as the first thing, may purchase it at the sacrifice of truth, and so of the soul itself.
_ _ of your calling — the one “hope” flowing from our “calling,” is the element “IN” which we are “called” to live. Instead of privileged classes, as the Jews under the law, a unity of dispensation was henceforth to be the common privilege of Jew and Gentile alike. Spirituality, universality, and unity, were designed to characterize the Church; and it shall be so at last (Isaiah 2:2-4; Isaiah 11:9, Isaiah 11:13; Zephaniah 3:9; Zechariah 14:9). |
Ephesians 4:4
There is one body — The universal church, all believers throughout the world. One Spirit, one Lord, one God and Father — The ever — blessed Trinity. One hope — Of heaven. |
Ephesians 4:4
(4) [There is] one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling;
(4) An argument of great weight for an earnest displaying of brotherly love and charity with one another, because we are made one body as it were of one God and Father, by one Spirit, worshipping one Lord with one faith, and consecrated to him with one baptism, and having hope of one self same glory, unto which we are called. Therefore, whoever breaks charity, breaks all of these things apart. |

2 Corinthians 11:4 For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or [if] ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with [him].
