Ch. 327 - One Body

'For by the grace given me I say to every one of you: Do not think of yourself more highly than you ought, but rather think of yourself with sober judgment, in accordance with the measure of faith God has given you. Just as each of us has one body with many members, and these members do not all have the same function, so in Christ we who are many form one body, and each member belongs to all the others.'
[Romans 12:3-5]

18. September 2010 Edit:

The bride of Christ is the Church. The body. Individuals make up the body. We are all equal in the sight of God, whether we like to think so or not... We are truly a family, brothers and sisters in Christ Jesus. Just as individual members of a family have different functions, so do the members of the body in Christ. Each is unique, each is important. We cannot function properly without one another and it saddens me to know that there is so much discord within the body in regards to others and their purposes, lack of involvement, etc....
