Part 2: In Reach
We are equipped in the Word to serve Jesus.
As the family of God, we are growing up together – in maturity, unity, and love. As we study, obey, and proclaim His Word, the Lord changes our hearts and transforms our lives.
This is why so much of God’s Word uses “one another” language. We love and serve one another, pray for and comfort one another. We also confess to and forgive one another. This ministry to one another helps us become more like Jesus and be more effective in serving Him.
As the body of Christ, we are also the visible representation of Jesus in this world. This means that we have the privilege of being used by God to help others discover how they, too, can be forgiven for their sin, enter into an eternal relationship with Him, and discover their spiritual gifts and life purpose.
