God has gifted each one of us with gifts according to the grace given us. In Christ all of our gifts are used to make up the entire body of Christ. Just as our body cannot function as a whole if one arm is not working. The body of Christ cannot function as a whole if we do not use the gifts that God has graced us with.
In Ephesians we learn that some people are gifted to help prepare others for works of service. This sharing of our gifts allows the body of Christ to be built up in faith and knowledge of God and to become mature in Christ. “From Him the whole body, joined and held together by every supporting ligament, grows and builds itself up in love, as each part does its work.” (Ephesians 4:16)
