What we're called to be

 I therefore, a prisoner for the Lord, urge you to walk in a manner worthy of the calling to which you have been called, with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love, eager to maintain the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. (Ephesians 4:1-3 ESV)
Paul, like Jesus, would occasionally double up his words to make emphasis. In this case, our calling is important.  As a manual on "How to do Church," his letter to the Ephesians makes it very clear what we are called to do in the fellowship of beleivers: allow God to smooth off the rough edges and cool down our tempers, bringing peace and love within us as individuals, so that those virtues will also be what characterizes the church to which we belong.  The Body can be no better than the parts which make it. Let us carry out our calling today.
