11/10/20 THE ONE ANOTHER’S IN THE NT #22 — Ephesians 4:25 (CSB) Therefore, putting away lying, speak the truth, each one to his neighbor, because WE ARE MEMBERS OF ONE ANOTHER.

“Putting away lying”: More than simply telling direct falsehoods, lying also includes exaggeration and adding fabrications to something that is true. Cheating, making foolish promises, betraying a confidence, and making false excuses are all forms of lying, with which Christians should have no part.

“Speak the truth, each one to his neighbor” is quoted from Zec.8:16. God's work in the world is based on truth, and neither the church nor individual believers can be fit instruments for the Lord to use if they are not truthful.

“We are members of one another ”: Each of us believers is an essential, indispensable, valuable limb, organ, member of the Body of Christ. WE NEED EACH OTHER! (adapted from The MacArthur Study Bible)
