What Being The Body Of Christ Means For Us

“For we are members of His body, of His flesh, and of His bones.” Ephesians 5:30

God has proclaimed that through Christ we are now cleansed from all sin, the Blood of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior cleanses us from all sin. “But if we walk in the Light, as He is in the Light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanseth us from all sin.” 1 John 1:7 All is all! Through Christ we are clean and all darkness has been removed from us! Now take a minute and actually think of us as being the body of Christ. First let’s consider sickness. Can Jesus be sick? No! Whose body are we? Can Jesus fear? No! Whose body are we? Can Jesus fail? No! Whose body are we, whose mind have we been given, whose heart has been placed within us, whose love do we now walk in? Does Jesus ever question what God wants Him to do? No! Whose mind do we now have? We are no longer on our own, we have been grafted into the Vine of Jesus Christ and He will never leave us or forsake us! Faith comes from hearing the Truth and the Truth sets us free from fear and the torment of it! The Truth gives us peace that passes all understanding and joy that remains stable and fixed regardless of what is going on around us! The Truth allows us to walk by faith Authored and Finished by Jesus and not by sight! Greater is He that is within us than anything and anybody that is in the world! Whatever Jesus is, we have become one with, we are now members of His body! How Jesus is, so are we even while on this earth, 1 John 4:17. There is absolutely no weapon that has been formed that can prosper against Jesus, and we are now one with the Invincible One! Today is the Day of our great salvation in Christ and we cannot help but to be blessed and prosper in it!
