Eph. 4:11 And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers, 12 for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ, 13 till we all come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ; 14 that we should no longer be children, tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, in the cunning craftiness of deceitful plotting, 15 but, speaking the truth in love, may grow up in all things into Him who is the head—Christ— 16 from whom the whole body, joined and knit together by what every joint supplies, according to the effective working by which every part does its share, causes growth of the body for the edifying of itself in love.
Are you equipped for the work of the ministry?
Are you growing in unity with other believer and the knowledge of Jesus Christ?
Have you grown to be more than just a child in the faith?
Do you recognise false doctrine?
Are you able to speak the truth in love to help others mature in the faith?
Are you doing your part in the body to accomplish this all important task of edifying and loving the church of Jesus Christ?
If not, why not?
