Jesus Christ is Lord

"One Lord, one faith, one baptism,
One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.
But unto every one of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ.
Wherefore He saith, When He ascended up on high, He led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men...

...And He gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;
For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:
Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ: That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive;..."

“God can never wait for a perfect instrument to appear. If so, He would certainly be waiting yet. Luther Himself declared he was but a rough woodsman to fell the trees. Pioneers are of that nature. God had more polished servants to follow up and trim and shape the timber symmetrically. A charge of dynamite does not produce the finished product, but it does set loose the stones that later stand as monuments under the sculpture’s skilled hand. Many high dignitaries of the Roman Church in Luther’s time were convinced of the need for reformation, and they knew that he was on the right track. But they declared, in so many words, that they could never consent that this new doctrine should issue from “such a corner.” That I should be a monk, a poor monk, who presumed to reform us all is what we cannot tolerate, they said. “Can there any good thing come out of Nazareth?”(John 1:46).”
