活出基督更豐盛的生命

Live a Christ-Like Life Abundantly

John 10:10b

我來了、是要叫羊〔或作人〕得生命、並且得的更豐盛。

I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.

以弗所書Ephesians 4: 11 - 16

他所賜的有使徒、有先知．有傳福音的．有牧師和教師．為要成全聖徒、各盡其職、建立基督的身體．直等到我們眾人在真道上同歸於一、認識?神的兒子、得以長大成人、滿有基督長成的身量．使我們不再作小孩子、中了人的詭計、和欺騙的法術、被一切異教之風搖動、飄來飄去、就隨從各樣的異端．惟用愛心說誠實話、凡事長進、連於元首基督．全身都靠他聯絡得合式、百節各按各職、照著各體的功用、彼此相助、便叫身體漸漸增長、在愛中建立自己。

So Christ himself gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the pastors and teachers,  to equip his 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.  Then we will no longer be infants, tossed back and forth by the waves, and blown here and there by every wind of teaching and by the cunning and craftiness of people in their deceitful scheming.  Instead, speaking the truth in love, we will grow to become in every respect the mature body of him who is the head, that is, Christ.  From him the whole body, joined and held together by every supporting ligament, grows and builds itself up in love, as each part does its work
