One Faith

Ephesians 4

Paul’s teachings on the Body of Christ is a rejection of individualism, that is self-sufficiency or self-importance. Neither Christ nor the body of Christ exists to serve our own ambition or pride. But it requires deep trust to live selflessly for the benefit of Christ and his body. It is a real value in the kingdom of God. “The last will be first, and the first last.” The “least shall be the greatest.” As John the Baptist said, “He must increase, but I must decrease.”
