When someone is cutting or unkind or unjust in his or her relationships it’s jarring, but especially when that person claims to be a follower of Christ. That’s because we expect those who follow Christ to reflect more of his character, his righteousness, especially in relationships with others. Ephesians 4:17-32 gives us practical insights about why and how believers in Christ can grow in righteousness in relationships, which is an essential mark of growing in the character of Christ.
