Ways in which the unity of believers is expressed in the concept of the body of Christ (1st cor. 12:12-27)

Ways in which the unity of believers is expressed in the concept of the body of Christ (1st cor. 12:12-27)

Jesus Christ is the head and the believers form, parts of the body.
The body of Christ can be compared to the function of the human body, just as there is unity among various body parts so members of the body of Christ must be united.
God has arranged all parts of the body so that they are all interdependent similarly all spiritual gifts are important and for the benefit and enrichment of all.
There should be no division in the church since all believers are members of the body of Christ so they should live a life worth God’s calling.
The suffering of the one part of the body means the suffering of the whole church
Jesus gave gifts through the HolySpirit to those who belong to Him.
