The Church: The Body of Christ Romans 12:3-4 1 Corinthians 12:12-27 Colossians 3:15 Ephesians 1:22-23 Matthew 26:26

As Jesus Had Only One Body Physically, So He Has Only One Body Spiritually, The Church John 1:14 Ephesians 4:3-4 Colossians 3:15

As Jesus’ Physical Body Had Only One Head, So His Spiritual Body, The Church, Has Only One Head, Jesus Christ Ephesians 4:5 Acts 11:26 Ephesians 5:23-24

As Jesus’ Physical Body Had Features That Defined It As His Body, So His Spiritual Body, The Church, Has Features That Define It As His Church John 20:28; Romans 16:16 Acts 2:41; Acts 2:38; Acts 20:7 Ephesians 5:19; Colossians 3:17

As Jesus Was Resurrected Bodily, So His Spiritual Body, The Church, Will Be Resurrected One Day Matthew 28:6; 1 Corinthians 15:42 1 John 3:2; Ephesians 4:4
