Chapters 3 and 4 help us to become better believers. We are called to become more like Christ. We cannot give away something we do not have. Our lives must be transformed by Christ and guided by the Spirit. Then we can love and interact with others as Christ himself did. Love your neighbor. Be salt and light. Be full of grace and truth.
