Ephesians 4:1-16 (CSB) Once we have our identity as a child of God established in Christ, we also have our identity in the family of God, or the church (our blood-bought family) established, and so we are then called to participate within that family's life.

Colossians 2:6-7 (CSB) There are many things that might cause us to give up our faith or mislead us away from the one true gospel of Jesus Christ.
