A. F. Barfield. Ephesians 4:4 There is one body, and one Spirit, even as you are called in one hope of your calling; 1. There is one body — the Church. 2. One Spirit — the Holy Ghost. 3. One hope — the resurrection from the dead. 4. One Lord — Jesus Christ. 5. One faith — the Christian religion. 6. One baptism — Christian baptism. 7. One God and Father of us all — the Lord God Almighty. (1) He is above all. Then He is supreme. And because of this — (a) He is worthy of our worship. (b) He is worthy of all reverence in our worship. (2) He is through all. Then He permeates all. (3) He is in you all. Then we may each realize Him. Conclusion: If all this be true — then union should exist everywhere. (A. F. Barfield.)
