BODY BUILDING

 
Ephesians 4:13


"Until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ." NIV


"Till we all come in the unity of the faith,and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ." KJV


The Lord has provided ministers of the faith in order to build up the Body of Christ. The finished work God intended for His Church is that we first of all be unified. Until we can get past our traditional beliefs and denominational thinking, we will keep struggling to reach unity in Christ. The Lord intends for us to become knowledgeable of the things of God so that we will be more like His Son. If we open our hearts to the Holy Spirit, we will learn and we will grow.


Heavenly Father, how far we are from being the Church You would have us to be. Help us to hunger for the likeness of Christ, to be attentive to those who have been entrusted to teach us, and to seek unity with our brothers and sisters in the Lord. We pray in the name of Jesus, Amen.
