Paul gives insight and illuminates for us that He would have to first sacrificially descend and graciously give gifts of TO men, that those He called, redeemed and gifted could faithfully return, unto Him, what He equipped them to do.
What does this all mean? Jesus would graciously equip the equippers with a gift β that the equippers could gift the servers β so the servers could gift the body β that the body could gift each part of the body, with the rich gifts of His grace, truth and love β so each part in the body could fulfill the mission of the body.
The purpose of the gift is to equip the body to effectively fulfill its mission to reach people for Jesus, teach believers about Jesus, equip the brethren to serve Jesus and mobilize the missionaries to go with Jesus β in an unending cycle that He may receive acceptable gifts from men, even among the nations of the world (Romans 15:13-20).
