"Speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in all aspects into Him who is the head, even Christ, from whom the whole body, being fitted and held together by what every joint supplies, according to the proper working of each individual part, causes the growth of the body for the building up of itself in love" -Ephesians 4:15-16 (NASB)
I just love these verses.
The body of Christ grows due to love, due to the working together of the individual parts. The parts must be working properly, playing each individual role, but it is not so much each part that is vital, but the joining of the parts...each part matters, but what matters most is the fitting together of the parts.
The church is meant to be unified...to work together...to love. And in doing these things, the church grows. We become more like Christ.
How beautiful.
