Ephesians 4:13–14: How can believers avoid being “tossed to and fro by every wind of doctrine” if interpretations vary widely among Christians? Are you growing in faith and knowledge of Christ? What defines spiritual maturity?

13 until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ.

What does Ephesians 4:13 mean? Church leaders are to equip believers to serve, in order to build up the community of believers (Ephesians 4:12). This verse adds three additional reasons. First, Paul wants believers to live in unity. This unity is based on the essentials of our faith.

1 As a prisoner in the Lord, then, I urge you to walk in a manner worthy of the calling you have received: 2 with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love, 3 and with diligence to preserve the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace.

13 until we're all moving rhythmically and easily with each other, efficient and graceful in response to God's Son, fully mature adults, fully developed within and without, fully alive like Christ. American Standard Version (ASV)
