Having accepted the free gift of eternal life by grace through faith, we become members of the Body of Christ. The significance of this distinctive position is clearly defined in God’s Word but seldom recognized or appreciated by the reader. Paul wrote to the Galatians, “Ye are all the children of God by faith in Jesus Christ. For as many of you as have been baptized (Not by water, but by the Spirit-into His death) into Christ have put on Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female for YE ARE ALL ONE IN CHRIST JESUS” (Galatians 3:26-28
“And He (Christ) is the Head of the Body, the Church; who (Christ) is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things He might have the preeminence” (Colossians 1:18).
“For as the body is one and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body; so also is Christ. For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one Body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit. For the body is not one member, but many…Now ye are the Body of Christ, and members in particular (1 Corinthians 12:12-14,27).
To fail to realize our position as members of the Body of Christ, is to miss much of the joy of our salvation. “Unto every one of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ.
(Ephesians 4:7). “Rejoice evermore! For we are members of His Body of His flesh, and of His bones!”
