The bible is clear that the church and the body are the same. The church IS the body of Christ and Christ IS the head of that body ie: the church.
Colossians 1:18; vs 24; Ephesians 1:22.
There IS ONE body (church). Ephesians 4:4.
The church (body) IS the fullness of Christ. Ephesians 1:22-23.
Christ shed His blood for the church (body). Purchased (bought) the church with His blood. Acts 20:28.
Christ has ALL authority and directs His church (body) – through the gospel. Matthew 28:18.
Christ IS the Saviour of the church, the body, HIS body, HIS church. Ephesians 5:23.
Is Christ the Saviour of anything else?
Seeing as Christ IS the Saviour of the church (HIS church, HIS body)….we should all want to know….where does one find THAT body (church) and how does one get into THAT church, THAT body.
Galatians 3 and Romans 6 are two examples of HOW one gets into Christ, the body, the church.
Those IN Christ are in the body (church). It is a spiritual relationship with our Lord, yet, likeminded Christians meeting with a local congregation.
“Not everyone that sayeth unto me Lord, Lord, shall enter the kingdom of Heaven, but he that doeth the will of My Father which is in Heaven”.
Matthew 7:21-22.
Come study! Learn Gods word, His will/plan for mankind. Time grows short.
