In Ephesians 4, the Apostle Paul doesn't start with an individual application of the truths of the first three chapters.  Instead, he begins by showing how the spiritual blessings we have received in Christ have a corporate application for members of the church.  Every believer is called by God to be part of his kingdom mission as part of a local church.
