The head drives the limbs

-
While the word is true, it is just wrong for some human beings to appoint the people in the positions to do the work in the church of God. No one has the authority to teach, exhort, or appoint anyone to do so. That authority is the head. The one who preaches or instructs should first be empowered by the Lord. Next, I should clearly understand that the Lord has called me to a certain position in the body of Christ. Then the Lord will perform the work of the Lord with the ability given by the Lord in the position given by the Lord. It is easily known to the community. It is his responsibility to depend on the Lord and use his gift. What each of us must learn is to grow in personal fellowship with the Lord and understand His mind and know something in His body and the work He has appointed us to do and our place (at this time the body will quickly advance - beware. etc.). It is the head that directs and directs the work of every organ in the human body. Similarly, in the church which is t...

A place ordained by God

-
(1 Corinthians 12:18) "God placed every member in the body according to His will". God is sovereign. With this authority He has assigned to each member a place in the body of Christ according to His will, and placed it there to perform its special work in that place. It is a sovereign act of God. Apart from that, no one can get his desired position. When we are given a place in the body of Christ, we must remember that there is a special purpose for us to stay in that place and fulfill it in a special way. This is the practical side of truth. When we fulfill this in our lives, we do justice to the place we have been blessed with in the body of Christ. Everyone knows that. Let us note the words of our dear Lord in Mark 13:34 - "To every man he hath appointed his work."

The different organs of that body

-
Let us meditate a little on the various members of the body of Christ and their functions as described in 1 Corinthians 12. In that part, we read about the three organs, leg, arm, ear, and eye, and their various functions, and that each of them had a need for the other. In the 28th verse of Pimmata, which reads like that, the apostle says, "And God called some first in the church He appointed some as apostles, some as prophets, some as teachers, some as workers of miracles, some as healers, some as doers of good deeds, some as rulers, and some as speakers of various languages. All these are various blessings given by God to the primitive society. These bounties Special organs in the body. In Ephesians 4:13 we read about the gifts given by the ascended Christ to men - "He appointed some apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, some shepherds and teachers". There are bounties. These special blessings or important organs of the body are more openly visible. The Body of Ch...

It is our responsibility

-
Even though there are so many splits and different religious sects in the Christian world today, we cannot avoid the responsibility of bearing witness to the one glorious truth of Christ's body. We should not only theoretically speak the truth about the one body, but also actively express that testimony in our daily life in our Christian fellowship.      CH, Mackintosh, who knows the truth well about this, said: "The first step in accepting the unity of God's church is that we should get rid of the sects of Christianity. After taking that first step, we should not hesitate to ask where our second step is. God never gives enough light for two steps at a time. Is there only one body? Undoubtedly God says so. Then it is clear that all these branches, divisions and systems are not negative to God's mind and will, that's all. So what is our duty? Getting out of those cracks. Our first step in the right direction is to avoid branches. If we stay in any one branch it is l...

Visual unity

-
At the time of the apostles, the believers in Christ were on earth as one visible congregation. To the eye of God and to the eye of man, they were not in the Book of Acts, nor in the newspapers, but a local area that day was one body. There are no divisions among them. All of the apostles had a happy unity and fellowship, and they all joined together. That is the locality of the respective areas the congregations and congregations of many nations are seen as one body to God and men. They saw that all Christians are one, one body in Christ, governed by the power and authority of the Holy Spirit. As God intended all that is needed is that form - that is one body. Alas, like the body, that happy visible unity is destroyed and erased in eternity. The unsaved name-callers and the ungodly have sneaked into society. That is the community on earth it turned into a great house full of dignified and dishonorable characters. That is how divisions, corruptions, and departures from God's Word t...

Only one body

-
The church of Christ is one body. The members (organs) of that body are scattered all over the earth and are different from each other according to color, language and status, but they are all one body. Paul wrote to the Romans - "We, who are many, are one body in Christ, members of one another." (12:5). Likewise, he wrote to the Corinthians - "We all partake of that one bread. For we, who are many, are one body." (1 Corinthians 10:17) To the Ephesians he writes more clearly - "The body is one." (4:4). This is the truth of God concerning the people of God who belong to the church of Jesus Christ. No matter what their race or tribe they belong to, they believe in the Lord and turn to God by the baptism of one Spirit into one body. get together This was a reality in the days of the apostles. Today is a truth. The scriptures do not say that until then the body was one, and henceforth the body will be one. It only says 'the body is one'. Although there...

A. The body of Christ

-
Ephesians is the first place where we have been told in many books that the church is the body of Christ. Let's look at 1:22,23. The first apostle praised the resurrected Christ, who was exalted in heaven "above all dominion, authority, power, and government." Appointed as the head of the community. He wrote about the community as "His body, the fullness of Him who fills all." The foundation of the community is the Lord's death, resurrection, and ascension to glory.For this reason, it is impossible for the Lord Christ to have a body on earth before he is exalted as the head in the highest place of heaven as a glorified man who has completed the work of redemption and resurrected. There should be a head before the body. So Christ as the head was taken up, and the next spirit was sent down to earth, and that first spirit formed the body. So the church is His body on earth. Just as Eve was necessary for the perfection of Adam, so the church was necessary for th...
