Body Of Christ...#726
Rom 12:5 So we, being many, are one body in Christ, and every one members one of another
1Co 12:27 Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular.
Eph 1:22 And hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head over all things to the church,
Eph 1:23 Which is his body, the fulness of him that filleth all in all.
Eph 4:11 And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;
Eph 4:12 For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:
Col 1:23 If ye continue in the faith grounded and settled, and be not moved away from the hope of the gospel, which ye have heard, and which was preached to every creature which is under heaven; whereof I Paul am made a minister;
Paul's Ministry to the Church
Col 1:24 Who now rejoice in my sufferings for you, and fill up that which is behind of the afflictions of Christ in my flesh for his body's sake, which is the church:
Col 2:19 And not holding the Head, from which all the body by joints and bands having nourishment ministered, and knit together, increaseth with the increase of God.
FROM THE PASTORS: Consider Eph. 4:11 How can we be perfected? Do we need the office of apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, teachers? I heard a prominent minister on TV say we no longer needed the 5 fold ministry. Read again Eph 4:11 at the top.. Do we?
