Faith Ephesians 4:11-16 Study_08 Christians should be growing in their faith. This growth can be measured and should be sought after with diligence.every believer's gift is Christ-centered. Note the words, "He gave." It is Christ and Christ alone who gives spiritual gifts to men. Men cannot work up the gifts, nor give the gifts to other men.
