Ephesians 4:11-14 Some of us have been given special ability as apostles, to others he has given the gift of being able to preach well, some have special ability in winning people to Christ, helping them to trust Him as their Savior; still others have a gift for caring for God’s people as a sherpard does his sheep, leading and teaching them in the ways of God.
¹² Why is it that He gives us these special abilities to do certain things best? It is that God’s people will be equipped to do better work for Him, building up the church, the body of Christ, to a position of strength and maturity;
until finally we all believe alike about our salvation and about our savior, God’s Son, and all become full-grown in the Lord, yes, to the point of being filled full with Christ. Amen.
