Membership has its benefits

“For just as the body is one and yet has many members, and all the members of the body—though many—are one body, so too is Christ. For in one Spirit we were all baptized into one body. Whether Jews or Greeks or slaves or free, we were all made to drink of the one Spirit. For in fact the body is not a single member, but many.

Now you are Christ’s body, and each of you is a member of it Now you are Christ’s body, and each of you is a member of it. And God has placed in the church first apostles, second prophets, third teachers, then miracles, gifts of healing, helps, gifts of leadership, different kinds of tongues. Not all are apostles, are they? Not all are prophets, are they?

Not all are teachers, are they. Not all perform miracles, do they Not all are teachers, are they? Not all perform miracles, do they? Not all have gifts of healing, do they? Not all speak in tongues, do they? Not all interpret, do they? But you should be eager for the greater gifts.” (1 Corinthians 12:12–14, 27–31 NET)

A Biblical Understanding of Membership

“You are still worldly. For since there is jealousy and quarreling among you, are you not worldly? Are you not acting like mere humans?” (1 Corinthians 3:3 NIV11)

Values that privilege wealth and social status are not part of the values of the church.

The church exists primarily for those who are not members.

Church membership is not about privileges, but responsibilities.

Membership Built on Love

The “love chapter” in 1 Corinthians is not talking about marriage but relationships in the church.

Membership has its…responsibilities.
