In Christ we who are many form one body(Continued)


In Christ we who are many form one body(Continued)

Col 3:15

15 Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful. 

Eph 2:16

His purpose was to create in himself one new humanity out of the two, thus making peace, 16 and in one body to reconcile both of them to God through the cross, by which he put to death their hostility. 

Eph 4:4, 25

There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called to one hope when you were called; one Lord, one faith, one baptism; one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all.

25 Therefore each of you must put off falsehood and speak truthfully to your neighbor, for we are all members of one body. 

Eph 5:30

29 After all, no one ever hated their own body, but they feed and care for their body, just as Christ does the church— 30 for we are members of his body.

We learn the following from the above verses

1)  Through Christ, we have the peace to reconcile to God by the cross in one body

2)   There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called to one hope when you were called

3)  Therefore each of you must put off falsehood and speak truthfully to your neighbor, for we are all members of one body

4)  After all, no one ever hated their own body, but they feed and care for their body, just as Christ does the church— 30 for we are members of his body

5)  Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful.
