What does it really mean to you as a Christian to be a member of the Body of Christ?

1 Corinthians 12:12

For even as the body is one and has many members, yet all the members of the body, being many, are one body, so also is the Christ.

What does this look like to you, in your daily life, in your work and school or home life.

Are we those who " see" the Body?

" Know " the Body?

" Care for " the Body?

Thank you saints, your portion here means so much.

    Dear Friend,

    The human body is used to illustrate the body of Christ:

    hands, feet, eyes, ears, mouth, nose, etc.

    Everyone can't be a hand, nor a foot, nor eyes, and so on. Therefore, God uses each one of us independently to make up the body in order to complete its unity as "one body." One may be equipped to 'encourage' and yet another may be equipped to be a good 'teacher;' and still yet another equipped to 'minister', and so on.

    Everyone in the body of Christ is 'extremely' important. Without one, the other members cannot function to their full capacity. Think about that.

    Tender blessings,

    To be a member of the Body of Christ, is the best that can happen to you. Knowing that are saved, never alone and there will always be somebody who loves you unconditionally. I'm not saying that people who don't believe in God won't be saved. In the end we all will.

    God bless you all people ;)

    It means that Jesus died to cleanse me of my own sins, and because of that, He's my personal savior.
