“Unity Of The Faith” Ephesians 4:13

God uses all of us in the accomplishment of unity By that which He has provided: – We may grow or mature spiritually – We may help others to grow

Christ has given “gifts” to make His teaching available to all. Ephesians 4:12 Apostles and prophets — Endowed with the power of revelation Evangelists — Herald the good news of salvation Pastors & teachers — Lead and instruct the church

These teachers are given to enhance edification. For perfecting of the saints. Unto the work of service (ministering) Unto the building up of the body

The goal of this edification is spiritual maturity. Ephesians 4:13 Until we all attain to the unity of the faith Until we all attain to a perfect man Until we all attain to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ

Identifying marks of this spiritual maturity: Ephesians 4:14-16 Stability – v. 14 Ability to teach others – v. 15; Heb. 5:12 Christ-likeness – v. 13 Cooperation – v. 16

The agreement we make with God when we become Christians is that we will commit ourselves to learn the will of God and to teach others what we have learned. As we do this, we all grow to maturity and closer together; and the unity that God seeks is created.

What Must I Do To Be Saved? Hear the gospel (Romans 10:17) Believe Jesus is Christ (Acts 8:37) Repent of your sins (Acts 17:30) Confess faith in Christ (Matthew 10:32) Baptized for remission of sins (Acts 2:38) Faithful unto death (Revelation 2:10)
