According to Ephesians 4:13-16 the purpose of constructing a healthy local congregation is to mature believers so that we can detect error when it comes along. We are to be unified as each of us uses the gifts that GOD has given us and work together. We are to be unified as one with Christ as our Head.

The purpose of constructing a healthy local congregation is that it will be strong and mature in knowing Jesus and it will not be easily swayed by false teaching .

It will also work in unity in helping one another.

The purpose of constructing a healthy local congregation is to " 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."

We grow together in the knowledge of Christ. We "grow up" together in maturity and as we attain those attributes, we will experience God with us and working through us as one. The church grows when everyone lives under the control of the Holy Spirit.

Q6. According to Ephesians 4:13-16, what is the purpose of constructing a healthy local congregation? Exposition

A healthy church will reach out to the lost and will see souls saved. The healthy church will also be teaching its members how to overcome trials and temptations and live victoriously. A healthy church will equip others for ministry and help them to grow in those ministries. It's all done to win the lost either by the preached Word or by individuals doing their part to witness and bring them in and also to Glorify God. God gets glory when people are saved, healed, and delivered. A healthy church will do that through the power of the Holy Spirit.

Constructing a healthy congregation means that we all work together to grow together in unity, to learn the same doctrine as one with the One. We are to mature together in love to perfect the ministry to edify the saints which will enable to fully exercise our gifts to the glory of the Lord. We are to become soul winners!

Q6. According to Ephesians 4:13-16, what is the purpose of constructing a healthy local congregation? Exposition

I love all the things everybody said. I think all of that is true. I would add that Jesus wants us to be a beautiful bride. How can

we do that unless we truly love each other and obey His commands. Obedience shows God we love Him. Maturity is knowing

what He says and obeying it. The world sees that and if the Holy Spirit is working on them, they want that 'beauty' in their lives.

May we all love Jesus more every day and obey Him.

According to Ephesians 4:13-16, the purpose of constructing a healthy congregation is to prepare God's people for works of service so the body can be built up. We should be reaching a unity in the faith and in the knowledge of Jesus and should be becoming mature, attaining the full measure of Christ. We will not be like children tossed about influenced by every teaching that we hear (for we will know the truth) or be deceived by the cunning and craftiness of mere men in their deceitful scheming.

Every Christian is called to build up the body of Christ. Every one has been given the responsibility to grow in the truth of the word and in knowledge of Jesus themselves, helping other Christians to grow to maturity also and to go out into the world with the fullness of Christ and be a witness to the lost.

Maturity is the key here. If we don't come to maturity, then everything that is used to build, or function in the church can cause chaos, because we can't have a firm foundation unless it is in the truth. Whims of teachings or teachings to promote "people" projects or desires only lead to confusion and eventual break downs. Only in maturity of the word and knowing Christ can we grow individually and together in the truth for a firm foundation and a joining together in truth and in living the truth. We become credible that way to outsiders who are seeking to know more too. They will see something different in us and want that also.

1. We can stand up to unbelievers, remaining strong in Jesus love. A healthy church is a growing church. When we keep God and Jesus foremost in our church and in our hearts, we can minister to others and bring them into Gods church.

By having a healthy local church, we are unifying ourselves in the knowledge of the Son of God. We are growing mature loving Christians. We are strong in our faith that no man will be able to cause us to turn our backs on God or each other. In the name of love, we will teach, help and guide each other. We will be able to loving repeimand those that need redirection and possibly intervention. There will always be a helping hand up to all those that need it. But there will not be hand outs unless there is no other way to help. We will make sure that we take care of our own.

The purpose of constructing a healthy local church.Since Jesus Christ told the disciples that He and the Father are one He was telling them that inorder the church to become successful there must be unity inside the church. So that is why Paul was always saying that we need to grow spiritually and the God that we serve.By that he was telling us that we must dwell in knowing the word of God so that we might be matured spiritually.
