Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ (Ephesians 4:13).

There's a level of maturity that the Church of Jesus Christ all over the world is expected to come to before the Rapture of the Church. This doesnt mean every individual will become mature overnight because were still winning souls. Therefore, therell be baby Christians, and itll take time to train and raise them in the Word. But God's people are growing, becoming more aware and more united in the faith.

This will continue until such a time that therell be unity in the spirit. What unifies Gods people in this manner is the knowledge of the Word and the ministry of the Holy Spirit.

What the opening verse tells us isnt something to be achieved in heaven, but here on earth. Notice it says, Till we all come..., not just some of us, but the whole Church moving in unity. Even the babes in Christ who dont know much are expected to follow the guidance of those who have walked with the Lord longer.

That's why Paul could confidently say, "Be ye followers of me, even as I also am of Christ" (1 Corinthians 11:1). He said, "Copy me," because he was following the Master. Its like living in a city with a high level of enlightenment; even if someone never went to school, he or she would be cultured likewise by simply being in that environment. In Christ, we all live in Gods spiritual city: But ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels (Hebrews 12:22).

We all are involved in this maturing of the Body of Christ: learning the Word, following the Lord's guidance, and helping others to grow in Him, until we, the Church, arrive at that place of maturity and unbroken unity that the Word describes. Ensure to play your role.

Prayer

Dear Father, thank you for the ministry of the Holy Spirit and the knowledge of your Word that unifies and matures us in Christ. I yield myself to be a worthy example to those who are coming into the fold. As I follow Christ, I guide others by my words, actions, and devotion to you. Thank you for your grace that enables me to walk in your wisdom and truth every day, in Jesus Name. Amen.
