Ephesians 1:23
NKJV
And he put all things under his feet, and gave him to be head over all things to the church,
which is his body, the fullness of him who fills all in all.
Romans 12:4,5
NKJV
For as we have many members in one body, but all the members do not have the same function,
so we being many, are one body in Christ, and individually members of one another.
1 Corinthians 12:27
NKJV
Now you are the body of Christ, and members individually.
*** THE CHURCH IS THE BODY OF
CHRIST, TO CARRY OUT GOD’S PLAN ON EARTH. ***
*** THE HUMAN BODY NEEDS ALL PARTS OF IT TO BE HEALTHY AND FUNCTION PROPERLY. ***
*** “IN CHRIST” WE ALL NEED TO KNOW, AND FULFILL, OUR PART IN THE CHURCH WHICH IS CHRIST’S BODY. ***
*** GET RID OF ALL FEELINGS OF INFERIORITY ….THAT YOU DON’T MATTER MUCH IN THIS GREAT BIG WORLD. ***
*** JESUS KNOWS YOUR NAME AND WHAT HE CHOSE YOU TO DO. ***
*** CHURCH LEADERS AND CHURCH PEOPLE IN TODAYS ORGANIZED CHRISTIANITY SEEM TO THINK THEIR BUILDING IS THE CHURCH. ***
*** THEY “GO” TO CHURCH ON SUNDAYS AND SIT AND LISTEN TO THE PREACHER AND LEAVE FOR HOME NOT KNOWING WERE THEY FIT IN THE BODY. ***
*** THEY TELL HOW IMPORTANT YOU ARE AT OFFERING TIME….HOW IMPORTANT IT IS FOR YOU TO GIVE YOUR MONEY . ***
*** EVERYONE GETS FULL PARTICIPATION IN GIVING MONEY AND TOLD HOW IMPORTANT THEY ARE TO THE MINISTRY OF THE CHURCH. ***
*** HOW MANY FIND THEIR PURPOSE IN THE BODY OF CHRIST? HOW MANY REMAIN SPECTATORS AND NEVER FIND A WAY TO RELEASE WHAT THEY WERE MADE TO DO IN LIFE? ***
*** TAKE THIS AS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO LEARN FROM JESUS….WHAT IS MY GIFT TO RELEASE IN YOUR CHURCH? YOUR BODY? ***
*** NO ONE CAN SHOW YOU MORE CLEARLY, AND ACCURATELY THAN THE ONE WHO MADE YOU, AND SAVED YOU. AFTER ALL HE IS THE HEAD OF HIS CHURCH. IT IS HIS BODY. ***
*** NO ONE CAN DO WHAT GOD HAS CALLED YOU TO DO. OTHERS MAY NOT SEE IT OR UNDERSTAND. AS LONG AS YOU AND GOD SEE IT, THAT IS ALL THAT REALLY MATTERS. ***
*** FULFILLMENT AND FRUITFULNESS COME WHEN YOU HEAR FROM JESUS AND OBEY HIS CALL. ***
"THE place for you to grow in grace."
