Bible Question: How is the building up of the body of Christ accomplished? Does Acts 20:32 provide an answer? |
Bible Answer: Mommapbs Seems no one was in a hurry to jump in. Well I will. Yes your right Acts 20:32 does give us give a fundamental element needed in a building up the body. However the body of Christ is built of all believers so each time we encourage, edify, and exhort each other we are strengthening and building up the body. Each time we gossip, complain about someone, or argue we weaken and tear down the body of Christ. I believe the reason why we see the so much power in the church of Acts was, they were all in one accord. EdB |
