Brit Chadasha Portion for 09/02/2023

In Ephesians 4:11-16, it is explained that God has given different roles to individuals, such as emissaries, prophets, evangelists, shepherds, and teachers, to help perfect and build up the body of believers. The goal is for everyone to come together in unity of belief and knowledge of Jesus, to become mature and not easily swayed by false teachings. Instead, we should hold onto the truth in love and grow together as one body, with Jesus as the head. Ephesians chapter 4 verses 11 through 16. And he himself gave some as emissaries, and some as prophets, and some as evangelists, and some as shepherds and teachers, for the perfecting of the set- apart ones, to the work of service, to a building up of the body of Messiah, until we all come to the unity of the belief and of the knowledge of the Son of Elohim, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the completeness of Messiah, so that we should no longer be children, tossed and borne about by every wind of teaching, by the trickery of men in cleverness, until the craftiness of leading astray, but maintaining the truth in love. We grow up in all respects into him who is the head, Messiah, from whom the entire body joined and knit together by what every joint supplies according to the working by which each part does its share, causing growth of the body for the building up of itself in love. you
