Unity

But grace was given to each one of us according to the measure of Christ’s gift. Therefore it says, “When he ascended on high he led a host of captives, and he gave gifts to men.” And he gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the shepherds and teachers, to equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ, until we all attain to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to mature manhood, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ, so that we may no longer be children, tossed to and fro by the waves and carried about by every wind of doctrine, by human cunning, by craftiness in deceitful schemes. Rather, speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in every way into him who is the head, into Christ, from whom the whole body, joined and held together by every joint with which it is equipped, when each part is working properly, makes the body grow so that it builds itself up in love. (Ephesians 4:7-8, 11-16, ESV)

We have been given gifts to use for the better of the world around us. They gifts are for the building up of the body of Christ, but the gifts are also for the spreading of the message of mercy and grace to all of the world. We are each given a gift to us and no be can do what God has created us for.

We need to work through our gifts until we have obtained unity n faith and knowledge of Jesus, so until we are all one and agreed on everything about Jesus, then we have not obtained all maturity. How do we get to that point?

We have to learn to accept each other as we are and allow God to be he change agent. We can not make people agree with us, we can not make them act a certain way. God will change all,of us if we allow Him to work in our lives.

Remember we are all one tribe, we all came from Adam and Eve, and we are all made by the same maker. We have to be united.
