Ephesians 4:15-16
But speaking the truth in love, let us grow in every way into him who is the head — Christ. From him the whole body, fitted and knit together by every supporting ligament, promotes the growth of the body for building itself up in love by the proper working of each individual part.
God grows us into Christ as we stay connected to Him and to one another.
Healing, strengthening, and growth all happen as the body is connected, as each part plays its role, and as gospel truth moves through relationships shaped and guided by love. God’s desire is not that His people would merely survive, stay busy, or appear strong but that we would become whole. And in Scripture, wholeness is never formed in isolation. Growth doesn’t occur in private. Wholeness formation is always relational and communal. It is formed through the right connections as those connections are the supply lines of God’s grace to us.
