“For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them” ( Eph. 2:10 ESV).
What’s all this for? In Christ we are being built together into a dwelling place for God ( Eph. 2:22 ESV). Apostles, prophets, evangelists, shepherds, and teachers are given to equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ ( Eph. 4:12 ESV). When each part of the body is working to full capacity, it grows so that it builds itself up in love ( Eph. 4:16 ESV). Our speech should be only what is good for building up ( Eph. 4:29 ESV). There is a lot of work going on here.
