*Grace to Grow*
*Text: Ephesians 4:7-16 (NIV)*
*7*But to each one of us grace has been given as Christ apportioned it.
*8*This is why it says:
“When he ascended on high,
he led captives in his train
and gave gifts to men.”
*9*(What does “he ascended” mean except that he also descended to the lower, earthly regions?
*10*He who descended is the very one who ascended higher than all the heavens, in order to fill the whole universe.)
*11*It was he who gave some to be apostles, some to be prophets, some to be evangelists, and some to be pastors and teachers, *12*to prepare God’s people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up *13*until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ.
*14*Then we will no longer be infants, tossed back and forth by the waves, and blown here and there by every wind of teaching and by the cunning and craftiness of men in their deceitful scheming.
*15*Instead, speaking the truth in love, we will in all things grow up into him who is the Head, that is, Christ.
*16*From him the whole body, joined and held together by every supporting ligament, grows and builds itself up in love, as each part does its work.
