What Does Ephesians 4:21 Mean?
Paul appeals to their own experience: 'if so be that ye have heard him, and have been taught by him.' The Christian life rests on a genuine encounter with Christ, a hearing and being taught that goes to the heart. He assumes they have truly met the Lord they profess.
He grounds it all in 'the truth is in Jesus.' Truth is not an abstraction floating free; it is found in a person. To learn from Jesus is to learn truth itself. The new way of living Paul will describe flows directly from the truth embodied in the Lord.
