Christ is the builder and administrator of the church, uniting believers and equipping them through spiritual gifts.
In the biblical view, Christ is not only the foundation of the church but also its builder and administrator. This is clearly articulated in Ephesians 4, which describes Him as the one who gives spiritual gifts for the perfecting of the saints. Each believer plays a unique role, and no member is insignificant. The administration of the church does not rely solely on human leadership; rather, it is Christ who sovereignly equips and unites us for the work of ministry. As the effective leader, He guides the church toward maturity in faith and love, ensuring that every member contributes to the body’s growth and edification.
