Diversity Aimed At Mature Unity

Ephesians 4:7-16 asserts that Christ has provided each individual believer with special grace for bringing our unity as God's people to its intended fullness and beauty and vitality, that is, to mature Christlikeness.

1. Our victorious Christ gives grace to
   each believer (4:7-10)

2. Christ gifts leaders to equip the
   saints for service (4:11-12)

3. Full Christlikeness for the whole
   church is the goal (4:13-16)
