"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." (1 Co 12:12).
This is the very important aspect of Christianity we all must know and properly understand. Every living being has a body - spiritual and/or physical. God is a Spirit and man is flesh (even thou he has a spirit). To worship God on earth, man must do this in Spirit and Truth.
"GOD IS A SPIRIT: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth." (John 4:24)...and this simply means YOU MUST BE BORN AGAIN INTO GOD BY GOD'S SPIRIT... "FOR BY ONE SPIRIT ARE WE ALL BAPTIZED INTO ONE BODY (or Kingdom), whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit." (1 Co 12:13).
...and CHRIST IS THE TRUTH.
"Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me." (John 14:6). Now don't you think you should take very good care of His Body, a.k.a., the Church? NEVER BE IN ANYWAY PARTY TO SCATTERING THE MEMBERS, BUT IN THE GATHERING TOGETHER OF SAINTS FOR WORSHIP.
***LET US LEARN TO LOVE GOD AND OURSELVES IN/THROUGH CHRIST.***
Be BORN AGAIN.
There is nothing outside of the BODY of Christ that has eternal life by itself.
"Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God." (John 3:3). The BODY of Christ is the ONLY body fruitful enough to birth new beginnings for you. When you get into Christ, old things have passed away, all things have become new!
"Therefore if any man BE IN Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new." (2Co 5:17).
Today, the Church represent Christ on earth, and all principalities and powers must bow to Christ through the Church. You can't be outside the Church and think for a split second that you are safe.
After being reborn, you have to belong to a local church and be in/under one accord. Don't fight against any church or its ministers. DO NOT STRIKE THE SHEPHERD AND SCATTER THE SHEEP. [Read 1 Co 12:1-31 to get the whole setup of the BODY of Christ, a.k.a., the Church; Mar 14:27; and Zec 13:7].
