One Body

One Body

In this passage, Paul describes the Church like a body. Although the body has many parts with different abilities, it is still one body. The Church is the same. 

Each person has a God given talent. We are responsible to join that talent with a local body of believers to enable it to do all God has assigned it to do. Without all its members, the local church is ineffective. Just like if a body is missing a part, it is not as effective. Though a person may adapt well without the part and thrive, it would be better to have all parts working together. The local church is no different. 

If you are not joined with a body of believers, please fix that. You cannot fulfill all God is calling you to do on your own. You need a body of believers with their respective God given talents to support you as you support them. 

We would love to have you join us. Private message me for more information. Here’s today’s Bible verse. Enjoy. 

1 Corinthians 12:14-16

12 Just as a body, though one, has many parts, but all its many parts form one body, so it is with Christ. 13 For we were all baptized by one Spirit so as to form one body—whether Jews or Gentiles, slave or free—and we were all given the one Spirit to drink. 14 Even so the body is not made up of one part but of many.
