Davar Kingdom Of God

… to prepare God's people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up 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 (Eph 4:12-13). There are two things that the church needs to seek in order that it may be built up: it is to reach “unity in the faith,” and to reach unity “in the knowledge of the Son of God.” The latter is easy to understand concerning why it is necessary: it is because the church is the body of Christ, and without the true knowledge of the Son of God, it cannot function as such. Then, what about the unity in faith: why does the church need to seek it? First of all, we need to keep in mind that the building-up of the body of Christ is creation, and it demands faith on our part in order for that creation to be realized. And regarding how faith works for creation, we see a good example in the life of Abraham: he was old and his wife Sarah was a barren woman. From
