What does the Bible say about edification?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that edification means building up believers in their faith through the truth of God's Word.

In 1 Timothy 1:4, Paul warns against focusing on unedifying stories and instead emphasizes the importance of godly edifying, which comes from faith. True edification involves nurturing a believer's spiritual growth by teaching them about God’s grace and truth. Preaching should not aim merely to entertain but to enlighten and strengthen believers in their walk with Christ. This means grounding our faith in the solid foundation of Jesus, whom we must exalt and glorify in all that we do.
