Bible Answer:
Bible Texts:
If you are a born again Christian, you are a member of
the universal church of believers, world wide.
I
Corinthians 12:13 KJV
For
by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews
or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to
drink into one Spirit.
How careful we must be! This is not “Universalism.”
This belief is that all will be saved and not lost.
This is “not,” what The Word Of God, states!
Matthew
13:49 KJV
So
shall it be at the end of the world: the angels shall come forth, and
sever the wicked from among the just.
Matthew 25:31-33,46 KJV (Read verses 31-46)
31
When The Son Of Man shall come in His glory, and all the holy angels
with Him, then shall He sit upon the throne of His glory.
32
And before Him shall be gathered all nations; and He shall separate
them one from another, as A Shepherd divideth His sheep from the
goats:
33
And He shall set the sheep on His right hand, but the goats on the
left.
46
And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the
righteous into life eternal.
The Apostle Paul, says that Christians have been
baptized into The Spirit, as children of
The Lord Jesus. We are the body of Christ.
The
Body:
John
3:3,5.14-18 KJV
3
Jesus answered and said unto him (Nicodemus),
Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he
cannot see the kingdom of God.
5
Jesus answered, Verily, verily I say unto thee, Except a man be born
of water and of The Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
14
"...even so must The Son Of Man be lifted up:
15
That whosoever believeth on Him should not perish, but have eternal
life.
16
For God so loved the world, that He gave His Only Begotten Son, that
whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting
life.
17
For God sent not His Son into the world to condemn the world; but
that the world through Him might be saved.
18
He that believeth on Him is not condemned: but he that believeth not
is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of The
Only Begotten Son Of God.
I
Corinthians 6:15,17,19,20 KJV
15
Know ye not that your bodies are the members of Christ?..."
17
But he that is joined unto The Lord is one spirit.
19
What? know ye not that your body is the temple of The Holy Ghost
which is in you which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?
20
for ye are bought with a price: therefore gorily God in your body,
and in your spirit, which are God's.
I
Corinthians 10:16,17 KJV
16
The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not the communion of The
Blood Of Christ? The bread which we break, is it not the communion
of the body of Christ
17
For we being many are one bread, and one body: for we are all
partakers of that one bread.
I
Corinthians 12;12-27 KJV
12
For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members
of that one body, being many, are one body: so also is Christ.
13
For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be
Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made
to drink into one Spirit.
14
For the body is not one member, but many.
15
If the foot shall say, Because I am not the hand, I am not of the
body; is it therefore not of the body?
16
and if the ear shall say, Because I am not the eye, I am not of the
body; is it therefore not of the body?
17
If the whole body were an eye, where were the hearing? if the whole
were hearing, where were the smelling?
18
But now hath God set the members every one of them in the body, as it
hath pleased Him..
19
And if they were all one member, where were the body?
20
But now are thy many members, yet but one body.
21
And the eye cannot say unto the hand, I have no need of thee: nor
again the hand to the feet, I have no need of you.
22
Nay, much more those members of the body, which seem to be more
feeble, are necessary:
23
And those members of the body, which we think to be less honorable,
upon these we bestow more abundant honor: and our uncomely parts have
more abundant comeliness.
24
For our comely parts have no need: but God hath tempered the body
together, having given more abundant honor to that part which lacked:
25
That there should be no schism in the body; but that the members
should have the same care one for another.
26
And whether one members suffer, all the members suffer with it; or
one members be honored, all the members rejoice with it.
27
Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular.
Ephesians
1:22,23 KJV
22
And hath put all things under His feet, and gave Him to be the head
over all things to the church,
23
Which is His body, the fullness of Him that filleth all in all.
Ephesians
3:6 KJV
That
the Gentiles should be fellow heirs, and of the same body, and
partakers of His promise in Christ by The Gospel:
Ephesians
4:3-6,16 KJV
3
Endeavoring to keep the unity of The Spirit in the bond of peace.
4
There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope
of your calling;
5
One Lord, one faith, one baptism,
6
One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all and in
you all.
16
From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that
which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in
the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the
edifying of itself in love.
Ephesians
5:29,30 KJV
29
For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and
cherisheth it, even as The Lord the church:
30
for we are members of His body, of His flesh, and of His bones.
Colossians
1:18-23 KJV
18
And He is The Head Of The Body, The Church: who is The Beginning, The
Firstborn From The Dead ; that in all things He might have the
preeminence.
19
for it pleased The Father that in Him should all fullness dwell;
20
And, having made peace through The Blood Of His cross, by Him to
reconcile all things unto Himself; by Him, I say, whether they be
things in earth, or things in heaven.
21
And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by
wicked works, yet now hath He reconciled
22
In the body of His flesh through death, to present you holy and
unblameable and unreproveable in His sight:
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..."
Colossians
3:15 KJV
And
let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are
called in one body; and be ye thankful.
Prayer:
Hebrews 13:3 KJV
Remember them that are in bonds, as bound with them; and them which suffer adversity, as being yourselves also in the body.
