Gifts for Unity of Faith to Know Him

The gifts He gives are to give us what we need ("a process of adjustment that results in a complete preparedness equipping, perfecting, making adequate"). Why? So that we can serve each other in Christ, with the goal of becoming one as we all understand the absolute truths of His word and knowing Him - mature by the measuring stick of Christ Himself!

Ephesians 4:11-13

11 And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers, 12 for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ, 13 till we all come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ;
