How do we know the ministry is for all believers?

Answered in 2 sources

Every believer is called to ministry, as all are seen as stewards entrusted with God's gifts.

In Ephesians 4, Paul indicates that various members of the body of Christ have distinct gifts and roles, yet all contribute to the ministry. He emphasizes the importance of faithfulness over position within the church, indicating that the notion of clergy and laity is misguided. Every believer, regardless of their vocation or title, is inherently in full-time Christian service, empowered by the Holy Spirit, testifying to the grace of God in their lives and the lives of others.
