Ephesians 4:13

Ephesians 4:13 "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,"

Ok so what is he talking about, if you look back in verse 12, he is talking about "building up the body of Christ,". So this building up of the body is from what it sounds like will get us to the point of Heaven, it is what gets us to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ, that reminds me of Philippians 1:6 when Paul says about Jesus "he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ." So that is when we die, and are going to Heaven we have been made perfect at that point. So Ephesians points out just how important the body is to all believers, it is essential to a Christian life. We as humans and especially as Christians are not made to be secluded, we are to be brought up by other believers, taught, loved, and guided. When I read this it just makes me want to be so much more involved with other believers, I want to meet new people, I want to be involved. It is also encouraging to see that God loves us so much to provide a way for us to be brought up, to be taught by other sinners, but yet this amazing power and truth that Jesus has given us overcomes our sin (in a way). He uses us broken cisterns for His great work, what an honor, just think you are essential to other believers faith.
