A participation in the body of Christ

Those who say they love Christ, should undertake all efforts to get together with others which have the same aspirations to Follow Christ and to be part of the Body of Christ.

Those who are called by God and became baptised should find it an honour to be allowed to become partakers of that Body of Christ. Therefore they should make themselves worthy of being a member of that one great family which crosses borders and cultures and should be all over the world, united under their one leader, Jesus Christ, the Messiah.

“A participation in the body of Christ”

In Paul’s 1st letter to the Corinthians we have come to where he refers to the memorial emblems, he stresses that their participation in these should be in a way that illustrates their unity. Paul has made several points very strongly in earlier chapters addressing issues that were seriously undermining their unity in Christ: their lack of harmony worried him very much.
