What builds us up?
1. Works of service – v. 12 to equip his people for works of
service, so that the body of Christ may be built up
2. Speaking the truth in love. – v. 15 Instead, speaking the
truth in love, we will grow to become in every respect the
mature body of him who is the head, that is, Christ.
How does He want us, as the body of Christ, to be built up?
1. Unity - v. 13 “until we all reach unity”
a. …in the faith
i. Brings strength. V. 14 “Then we will no longer be
infants, tossed back and forth by the waves, and
blown here and there by every wind of teaching
and by the cunning and craftiness of people in
their deceitful scheming.”
b. …in the knowledge of Jesus
2. Attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ
