Edification is a subject that is near and dear to me.

It is a vital part of Christianity and one we should do our best to practice. 

Perhaps some of you agree with this and would be so kind as to share your thoughts on this subject along with like minded scriptures and experiences.

I hope this can be an edifying (pun intended :emot-nod:) discussion. GBU.

The word "edifice" comes to mind, which is a building or complex structure. 

We are the temple and we have been given particular gifts to use in defending and building up the temple (eachother). 

1Peter 4:10

"As every man hath received the gift, even so minister the same one to another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God."

 

1 Corinthians 3:10

"According to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a wise masterbuilder, I have laid the foundation, and another buildeth thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon."

 

There is no better sense of fulfillment than when I am using my gifts to serve others; this is the true currency of the Kingdom. When I begin to buy in to this world's economy of profiting from other's misfortunes it is like tearing down the temple and we know how He feels about that:

1 Corinthians 3:17

"If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are."

Shalom turtle,

I hope you are doing well my sister.

What a fantastic topic to raise! I love it! 

@Tzephanyahu I've been having extreme dizziness and am in need of prayer, brother. Thanks for your concern and also for your edifying :)words about this thread.

Beautiful post @turtletwo.  Such a thing should be up on bulletin boards and newsletters of every church.
