Ephesians 4:12 For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:

Thought for the Day: Maturity Produces Love And Cohesiveness

Reflection for the Day: The Goal Must Remain In Focus

Paul provides the assignment of those who God has placed into positions of leadership. Their goal is the perfecting of the saints. It is through the growth of each member that the body is able to effectively impact others. As mature saints, there will be the demonstration of love and a cohesive spirit.

Whether as a leader or follower understanding the importance of spiritual maturity is essential. It is through the focused efforts of leadership that growth takes place and all are applying themselves to the mission of the church. The goal must remain in focus.
