The Body of Christ

God gave spiritual gifts to Christians to use to build up the body of Christ so that the church is united and mature. Are you using your gift/s to help out? Or are you expecting everyone else to grow up without you playing your part? Eph. 4:11-16

I think too often the attitude is that when others are more mature the church will function more smoothly, but we neglect our part in finding out and using our spiritual gifts to help mature the body of Christ . Speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in all aspects into Him, who is the head, even Christ. It is such an amazing word picture to think about how immature the body is compared to the head!
