Reformed (Presbyterian) Lens Commentary: Ephesians 4:25-32

## Reformed (Presbyterian) Lens Reading of Ephesians 4:25-32

### Tradition-Specific Interpretation

We read Ephesians 4:25-32 as a practical outworking of our sanctification in the Spirit, rooted in the sovereign grace of God. This passage calls us to live as new creations in Christ, reflecting the transformative power of the covenant of grace. The imperatives here are not mere moral instructions but are grounded in our identity as those effectually called and regenerated by the Spirit. As members of the covenant community, we are to embody truthfulness, righteous anger, and forgiveness as expressions of our union with Christ and the renewed image of God in us.
