Ephesians 4:11-15
And He gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the shepherds and teachers,
to equip the saints for the work of ministry,
for building up the body of Christ,
until we all attain to the unity of the faith
and of the knowledge of the Son of God,
to mature manhood,
to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ,
so that we may no longer be children, tossed to and fro by the waves and carried about by every wind of doctrine, by human cunning, by craftiness in deceitful schemes.
Rather, speaking the truth in love,
we are to grow up in every way into Him Who is the Head, into Christ.
To understand the Fullness of God
we find God will:
Give,
Equip,
Grow!
Creating a unity in the faith
To maturity from speaking the truth with Love.
Grow in every way.
God is giving us a Purpose statement of Life.
To know the fullness of God.
A God Given Purpose Statement. Filled with Grace and Mercy and Graciousness; God does not say rudely to, "mature." Instead, we find Scripture emphasizes the placement of His ideas, the working of God for our growth. Billy Graham said with such joy, "I've read the last page of the Bible, it is going to turn out alright." Our Father, the Almighty God, never tells anyone, like Gideon, to quit asking, stop talking, and do the last paragraph of the Chapter. Each year, we are entrusted with God's Only Son as an infant. God has the Church year work each verse of His Word. We live by every Word of God.
Our Father God is an Awesome God.
