Ephesians Study Notes—Chapter 4New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures (Study Edition)
-
-
one Lord: That is, Jesus Christ.—1Co 8:6.
one faith: That is, the one acceptable way of worshipping God. This faith is based on the one message about Christ that Christians preach.—Joh 3:16; 4:23, 24; Ro 10:16, 17; 2Co 4:13.
one baptism: The Ephesians had learned that the “one baptism” carried out “in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the holy spirit” was the key to their unity. (Mt 28:19, 20) During his third missionary tour, Paul met some in Ephesus who had been baptized “in John’s baptism,” apparently after that ceased to be an acceptable baptism. (See study note on Ac 18:25.) Although they knew about God, they had not heard of Christian baptism. After Paul explained about Christ and the holy spirit, “they got baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.” (Ac 19:1-6) They could then join all the baptized Christians who were serving Jehovah in Ephesus and elsewhere.
