God gave the church apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors and teachers to equip the saints for the work of ministry. We are to be servants and we are to be doers of the Word. The goal of preaching is worship, but it is also the equipping of the saints for ministry work. As this happens the church is built up, or edified, rather than torn down.
"Until we attain to the unity of the faith ..." We have a precious unity that must be preserved, but there is a level of unity that is yet before us and that can be attained by the grace of God and by our diligence.
We are to grow up into the stature of Christ. We are no longer to be children -- childish and immature.
We are to beware of being tossed about by every wave and wind of doctrine that comes down the pike. It is through the clever and subtle words of false teachers that the church is divided and its unity compromised.
