Part IV--The Family Of God / The Body Of Christ

A. Lesson 19--The Nature Of Christ's Body

    15. READ: EPHESIANS 5:22-32

      f. What are we members of?

        Answer: We are members of Christ's body, (verse 30).

        MORE INFORMATION AND/OR OTHER SCRIPTURE REFERENCES:

        Romans 12:5: "so in Christ we who are many form one body, and each member belongs to all the others."

        1 Corinthians 10:16-17: "Is not the cup of thanksgiving for which we give thanks a participation in the blood of Christ? And is not the bread that we break a participation in the body of Christ? Because there is one loaf, we, who are many, are one body, for we all partake of the one loaf."

        1 Corinthians 12:27: "Now you are the body of Christ, and each one of you is a part of it."

        Ephesians 1:22-23: "And God placed all things under His feet and appointed Him to be head over everything for the church, which is His body, the fullness of Him Who fills everything in every way."

        Read Ephesians 2:11-22.

        Ephesians 3:6: "This mystery is that through the Gospel the Gentiles are heirs together with Israel, members together of one body, and sharers together in the promise in Christ Jesus."

        Ephesians 4:12-16, 25: "to prepare God's people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ. Then we will no longer be infants, tossed back and forth by the waves, and blown here and there by every wind of teaching and by the cunning and craftiness of men in their deceitful scheming. Instead, speaking the Truth in love, we will in all things grow up into Him Who is the Head, that is, Christ. From Him the whole body, joined and held together by every supporting ligament, grows and builds itself up in love, as each part does its work...Therefore each of you must put off falsehood and speak truthfully to his neighbor, for we are all members of one body."

        Colossians 1:18, 24: "And He is the head of the body, the church; He is the beginning and the firstborn from among the dead, so that in everything He might have the supremacy...Now I rejoice in what was suffered for you, and I fill up in my flesh what is still lacking in regard to Christ's afflictions, for the sake of His body, which is the church."

        Colossians 3:15: "Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful."
