몸을 자라게 함 | |
성경말씀 | |
엡4:15~16 오직 우리는 사랑 안에서 참된 것을 붙잡고, 모든 일에서 그리스도, 곧 머리이신 분 안으로 자라야 합니다. 온몸은 그분에게서 나온 그 풍성한 공급을 해 주는 각 마디를 통하여, 그리고 각 지체가 분량에 따라 기능을 발휘하는 것을 통하여 함께 결합되고 함께 짜입니다. 그래서 몸이 자람으로써 사랑 안에서 스스로 건축되는 것입니다. | |

Causing the Growth of the Body | |
Bible Verses | |
Ephesians 4:15 But holding to truth in love, we may grow up into Him in all things, who is the Head, Christ, (16) Out from whom all the Body, being joined together and being knit together through every joint of the rich supply and through the operation in the measure of each one part, causes the growth of the Body unto the building up of itself in love. | |
Words of Ministry | |
The Body causes the growth of the Body. This means that the Body grows by the Body itself. The Body makes the growth of the Body. It is not wrong for churches to invite certain ones to come to minister the Word to them. However, a local church is not built up in this way. A local church must grow by the local church itself. Even a very small church must grow by itself. Verse 16 speaks of the growth of the Body unto the building up of itself in love. This indicates that a local church must build itself up in love through every joint of the supply and according to the operation of the measure of each one part. Those with the particular supply are not only in the Body as a whole, but also in the local churches, which are the practical expression of the one Body. Even if the number of saints in a church is very small, perhaps only fifteen, there will still be some with the particular supply. This should be an encouragement to every local church. Through the particular supply of the leading ones and through the operation in each part, the church will cause the growth of itself in love. In this way we shall see the growth of the members for the building up of the Body of Christ. | |
