Edification of the Growing Church

Act 9:31 Then had the churches rest throughout all Judaea and Galilee and Samaria, and (1) were edified; and (2) walking in the fear of the Lord, and (3) in the comfort of the Holy Ghost, (4) were multiplied

Proper Use of Edification

Rom 14:19 Let us (Christians) therefore (1) follow after the things which make for peace, (2) and things where with one may edify (training instruction) another

Christians to use Charity and Edification in Life

1Co 8:1 Now as touching things offered unto idols, we (Christians) know (by experience) that we (Christians) all have (proper) knowledge. Knowledge (misuse of information) puff up (causes pride), but charity (help those in need) edifies (training instruction).

Christians are not under the Law and Should not become Convenient

1Co 10:23 All things are lawful for me (Paul), but all things are not expedient (convenient): all things are lawful for me,(Col 2:14) but all things edify (training instruction) not.

Convenience (little effort) is not Edification (training instruction)

Christian Prophesies Helps Edification of the True Church

1Co 14:3 But he that prophesies speaks unto men to edification, and exhortation, and comfort. 1Co 14:4 He that speaks in an unknown tongue edifies himself; but he that prophesies edifies the (true) church. 1Co 14:5 I (Paul) would that you (Christians) all spoke with tongues, but rather that you prophesied: for greater is he that prophesies than he that speaks with tongues, except he interpret, that the (true) church may receive edifying (training instruction).

Milk and Meat Christians

1Co 14:12 Even so you (milk Christians), for as much as (desire power, position, and authority) you are zealous of spiritual gifts, *seek that you (Christians) may excel (mature) to the edifying (training instruction) of the True) church.

True Church: Matt 16:16, Acts 20:28, Heb 12:23, Rom 8:9-11

Immature Christians: Even so you (milk Christians), for as much as (desire power, position, and authority) you are zealous of spiritual gifts,

*seek that you (Christians)

Maturing Christians: (Christians) may excel (mature) to the edifying (training instruction) of the (True) church.

Christians Give Thanks Correctly but are Speaking in Tongues Wrong

1Co 14:17) For you (Christians) verily give thanks well, but the other (speaking in tongues 1Cor 14:13-19) is not edified (training instruction).

Are Christains Helping the True Chruch

1Co 14:26 How is it then, brethren? when you (Christians) come together, every one of you has (1*) a psalm, has (2*) a doctrine, has (3*) a tongue, has (4*) a revelation, has (5*) an interpretation. Let all things be done unto edifying (Training Instrudtion).

Let all *things be done unto edifying of the (True Church Matt 16:16, Acts 20:28, Heb 12:23, Rom 8:9-11)

Severent Leadership of Paul Used to Edifiey the True Church

2Co 10:8 For though I (Paul) should boast somewhat more of our (Severent Leadership) authority, which the Lord has given us (Christian Leadership) for edification (training instruction), and not for your (Christian) destruction, I (Paul) should not be ashamed:

(True Church Matt 16:16, Acts 20:28, Heb 12:23, Rom 8:9-11)

Christian Leadership Servatude done for Christains

2Co 12:19 Again, think you (Christians) that we (Christian Leadership) excuse (servatude) ourselves unto you? we speak before God in Christ: but we do all things, dearly beloved, for your (Christians) edifying (training instruction).

Workings of the True Church

Christian Leadership not to Use Corrupt Communication

Eph 4:29-30 Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your (Servant Leadership) mouth, (1) but that which is good to the use of edifying (training instruction), (2) that it may minister grace unto the hearers. Eph 4:30 (3) And (Christians) grieve not the holy Spirit of God, (4) whereby you (Christians) are sealed unto the day of redemption.

Christians to Comfort and Edify Each Other

1Th 5:11 Wherefore comfort yourselves (Christians) together, and edify (training instruction) one another, even as also you do (doing comfort the correct way).

Edification is Within the Christian Faith

1Ti 1:4 (Christians) Neither give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which minister questions, rather than godly edifying (training instruction) which is in faith:so do
