A. Spirit-empowered service builds fellow believers, making each member a contributor to Christ’s strengthening work.
B. As every believer serves faithfully, the entire church is built up around Jesus Christ.
2. Shared faith and knowledge of Christ produce maturity, showing service advances the Body toward unity (Ephesians 4:13).
A. Knowing Jesus personally transforms unity from outward agreement into shared spiritual life and devotion.
B. Mature believers measure growth by Christ’s fullness, not personalities, preferences, or human traditions.
3. Truthful, loving ministry protects believers from deception, demonstrating maturity preserves and deepens Christ-centered unity (Ephesians 4:14-15).
A. Biblical stability keeps believers from being tossed by persuasive errors and cunning spiritual manipulation.
