We Say We are ONE, But Are We?...
Actions speaks louder then words. We testified to the gospel truth and say we are members of one another and of ONE Body which is [God's,] but in reality we are NOT rightly fitted together to each part. Sad to say there's evidence of schism in the body of Christ, and we demonstrate to our comely parts dishonour. Jesus who is the HEAD OF THE BODY grieves immensely because of this out rages behavior among his members: who think of themselves more honourable then others.
How often we disregard the teachings of Jesus and think it doesn't apply to ourselves, but only to others. We who profess to be christians are doing more harm to the body then those who presecute it. We see this as a set pattern throughout the former generations of want-to-be's, so-called, believers of Christ.
How can we who are rightly fitted together by God be indifferent towards one another. The body is to walk in unison (Prefect Agreement) with the HEAD, and with each other. Are we doing that? Are we ONE with Jesus: who give himself for us at Calvary, and shed his blood at Golgotha over two thousand years ago? Only we can individually answer this question. God who inhabits the ONE Body of Christ, is not to be dishonored? but rather reverend.
The SCHISM in the body separates the joints as well as the members. It sets us apart one from another: even from him who is the HEAD of the Body. The chruches today is lame it stumbles repeatedly and has come short of his glory, and fallen from his grace.
CHURCH of Christ claim your healing and stand upright before him who is the [Chief Corner Stone] which have been REJECTED by men, but CHOSEN by God.
God who inhabits the body has made us his TEMPLE to dwell in: Shall we defiled the body with contempt for one another. Jesus' body have been bruised so that we might be healed. Paul preached to the Galatians' chruch.
Gal 2:18... " For if I build again the things which I destroyed, I make myself a transgressor. He continues to preach..., I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me; and gave himself for me."
We have been conceived by the Word of God and are made new creatures in Christ Jesus. We as children are [Begotten by the Word,[ and God has given us a BODY which pleases him, even his own BODY, indowed with immortality.
If you have submitted LIFE to God: You are no longer depending on the World or flesh. We are bought with a price and our life is no longer our own, but it is hidden in Christ Jesus. 1 Cor 6:20... For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's. He's given his life so that we might live through him, he died, was buried, and have raising again so that we might receive eternal life. We are not of this world, but of God. Bred and rare by his indwelling power that works in us mightly.
This body is not ours, but God's: Who gave it life through the operation of his own resurrected power. So when we visit one another in the msn chatrooms let us remember this message of reconciling love of God. The World may dispise us, but we are loved by the ONE who layed down his life for us.
Love your sister in Christ Jesus
