A Short Study of 1st Corinthians 12:27
“Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular.”
(1st Corinthians 12:27)
All of God’s elect make up the body of Christ, His church (Matthew 16:18; Ephesians 1:3-6). All who Christ Jesus redeemed with His precious blood, make up the body of Christ (Acts 20:28; 1st Peter 1:18; Revelation 5:9-12). All who are regenerated by God the Holy Spirit, make up the body of Christ (1st Corinthians 12:13; Ephesians 2:1-4; 1st Peter 1:23). All who are made to believe the true gospel, make up the body of Christ (John 5:24; Galatians 3:26).
Therefore, any earthly organization or religious cult that sets itself as the “body of christ” proclaiming they have authority to put sinners into Christ or remove them at their own discretion and power to wash away sin, is truly an abomination to Almighty God, a discredit to the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ and totally contrary to the whole testimony of God. Salvation, as it is taught from Genesis to Revelation is of the LORD; from election, to justification, to sanctification, to reconciliation, to regeneration and to glorification (Romans 8:28-30; 1st Corinthians 1:30-31; 2nd Timothy 1:9: Titus 3:5-7).
