The Body of Christ

When we accept Jesus as Lord and Savior, we join what we call the body of Christ. Now you are the body of Christ, and each one of you is a part of it. (1 Corinthians 12:27) As a body, we understand that we all have a different function so we do not need to feel jealous of others. And whether one member suffer, all the members suffer with it; or one member be honored, all the members rejoice with it. (1 Corinthians 12:26 KJV) We should also know that as all parts of the human body work together so do us.We need to have fellowship helping, encouraging and rebuking each other in love. Our purpose is not to destroy but to edify, encouraging those wounded or in need of restoration. Jesus did not come to bring condemnation but salvation. (John 3:17) But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin. (1 John 1:7 KJV) We should meet not only to pray, but also to praise God and share what He does for us. Our testimonies and experience help others to continue forward in their walk with God and also help them grow in faith. And they continued steadfastly in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers. (Acts 2:42 KJV)
