A Community of Trust (Ephesians 4:25)
Integrity: It’s an important word—and a most neglected concept. In Eden, the lying serpent literally spoke with a forked tongue, and to this day all our tongues have been tainted with the slithering propensity to falsehood—such as lying, slander, deceit, manipulation, cooked books, and broken vows. But what is so common in the world should never be so in the church. Paul tells us so in Ephesians 4:25. By the power of the gospel, the Christian has been translated from the domain of falsehood to the domain of truth. And we are to live like it. Paul’s concern here is for the community of faith (4:1–16), and perhaps what is of fundamental importance for the community of faith is that we be a community of trust.
