We Need to Grow "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 men in their deceitful scheming." (Ephesians 4:14) Then
is the operative word.
When
the body is being equipped, THEN, and not until, will we move toward
maturity. It is when we have been moved upon by God's spirit as
a result if the maturity that comes through the equipping of the saints
that we are not blown around by winds of doctrine and cunning schemes.
Maturity results in many things, not the least of which is unity.
There is an essential completeness
that occurs which is the
result of the people who are in relationship with one another, being
equipped and growing together. Then
we may come to a place where we live out the design of God for our lives
through His empowering presence. This
is the will of God for all Christians.
