Abstract

This study analyzes Christian ethics rooted in love based on Ephesians 4:1-32 through a systematic theological approach. The introduction highlights the importance of love as the core of ethical teachings in Christianity, particularly in shaping character and church unity. The aim of this research is to explore how love plays a role in shaping the ethical and relational life of believers, as well as in creating harmony within the church and society. The method used is a systematic theological analysis of the text of Ephesians 4:1-32, emphasizing the principle of love in interpersonal relationships, forgiveness, and obedience to Christ as the Head. The findings and discussion reveal that love serves as the primary foundation for the development of Christian character, church unity, and ethical transformation in daily life. The love taught in Ephesians is not merely a moral command but a call to a life that fully reflects Christ.
