Our Identity In Christ-Who We Are In Christ | Part 12: One Body

Our being in Christ has made us one with everyone else who is in Christ. Our identity in Christ supersedes our natural identity-race, social standing, gender, etc. Being one body in Christ makes us God's dwelling place, God's temple. Each one of us must do our part to keep the God's Temple holy. As God's dwelling place we establish God’s presence in our community. We destabilize demonic strongholds in our city. The Holy Communion, the Lord's Table expresses that we are one body. We eat of one bread and drink of one cup. Our covenant with God is also our covenant with each other. Celebrate the blessings of the covenant and also express our spiritual unity with each other. As part of one body, we recognize that there are many members, with many functions in the body. We learn to serve together, complementing each other, and not competing with each other. We collectively represent Christ to our world. We honor other local churches that are in Christ, because, although diverse in our expressions, we are one. This is Part-12 in this series on our identity in Christ, discovering who we are in Christ, and how to live life in Christ.
