One World One People

The Church is a LIVING ORGANISM

The Church is the BODY OF CHRIST

The Church is the BODY OF CHRIST It exists on TWO LEVELS

The Church is the BODY OF CHRIST In HEAVEN On EARTH

In the dispen-sation of the fulness of time He gathered together in ONE all things IN CHRIST, Ephesians 1:10

both which are in heaven and which are on earth -- IN HIM. Ephesians 1:10

Jesus united, in His own person, the DIVINITY of Deity, and the HUMANITY of mankind, making us ONE with God.

“With His human arm He encircles the race of Adam, and with His divine arm He grasps the throne of God, Signs of the Times, 27 June 1895

and unites finite man with the infinite God, and earth with heaven. Signs of the Times, 27 June 1895

But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in trespasses, Ephesians 2:4-7

made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), and raised us up to-gether, and Ephesians 2:4-7

made us sit to-gether in the heavenly places IN CHRIST JESUS, that in the ages to come He might show the Ephesians 2:4-7

exceeding riches of His grace in His kindness to-ward us IN CHRIST JESUS. Ephesians 2:4-7

WE are NOW seated at the right hand of God IN THE HUMANITY of the Son of God.

WE are IN His BODY.

WE Lived, Died, Arose, and Ascended IN CHRIST’S BODY.

For this is the WILL of God, your sanctification… 1 Thessalonians 4:3

Therefore, when He came into the world, He said, “Sacrifice and offering you did not desire, BUT… Hebrews 10:5-14

You have prepared for me.” BODY You have prepared for me.” Hebrews 10:5-14

Then I said, “Behold, I have come… to do Your WILL, O God”…. Hebrews 10:5-14

By that WILL we HAVE BEEN SANCTIFIED through the offering of the BODY of Jesus Christ ONCE for ALL. Hebrews 10:5-14

Those who are sanctified. For by ONE offering He HAS PERFECTED FOREVER Those who are sanctified. Hebrews 10:5-14

Since you were RAISED with Christ, seek those things which are above, where CHRIST is, Colossians 3:1-4

sitting at the right hand of God sitting at the right hand of God. Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth. For you are dead, Colossians 3:1-4

and your life is hidden with Christ in God. Colossians 3:1-4

No eye has seen, no ear has heard, and no mind has imagined what God has prepared for those who love Him. 1 Corinthians 2:9

In Christ dwells all the fullness of the Godhead in a human body, and YOU are complete IN HIM who is over all…. Colossians 2:9-10

WE are IN the BODY OF CHRIST IN HEAVEN NOW!

BUT… Wait a minute! WE’RE HERE! ON EARTH! NOW!

Now YOU are the Body of Christ, and members individually. 1 Corinthians 12:27

We who are IN CHRIST, through faith, are His BODY on earth

And God put all things under His feet, and gave Him to be the Head over all things to the church, Ephesians 1:22-23

the fullness of Him who fills all in all. which is HIS BODY, the fullness of Him who fills all in all. Ephesians 1:22-23

He is the Head of the BODY, the Church, who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, Colossians 1:18-19

that in all things He may have the preeminence that in all things He may have the preeminence. For it pleased the Father that in Him all the fullness should dwell… Colossians 1:18-19

Now, therefore, you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints Ephesians 2:19-22

and members of the household of God, having been built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Ephesians 2:19-22

JESUS CHRIST Himself being the Chief Cornerstone, in whom the whole building, being joined together, Ephesians 2:19-22

GROWS into a holy temple in the Lord, in whom you also are being built together Ephesians 2:19-22

for a dwelling place of God by the Spirit. Ephesians 2:19-22

Ephesians 3:6; 2 Peter 1:4 As members of HIS BODY, We partake of the divine nature through the Holy Spirit, who indwells HIS BODY Ephesians 3:6; 2 Peter 1:4

Now there is ONE BODY, and ONE SPIRIT, just as you were called in ONE HOPE of your calling; Ephesians 4:4-7

ONE LORD, ONE FAITH, ONE BAPTISM; Ephesians 4:4-7

ONE GOD and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and IN you all. Ephesians 4:4-7

But to each one of us GRACE has been given according to the measure of the GIFT of Christ… Ephesians 4:11-16

He gave some to be APOSTLES, some PROPHETS, some EVANGELISTS, Ephesians 4:11-16

and some PASTORS and TEACHERS, for the EQUIPING of the saints for the work of MINISTRY, Ephesians 4:11-16

BODY OF CHRIST, till we all come to the unity of the faith, For the edifying of the BODY OF CHRIST, till we all come to the unity of the faith, Ephesians 4:11-16

and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ… Ephesians 4:11-16

That we should no longer be children, tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, Ephesians 4:11-16

In the cunning craftiness of deceitful plotting, but, speaking the truth in love, may grow up in all things Ephesians 4:11-16

into Him who is the HEAD, Christ, from whom the whole BODY, joined and knit together by what every joint supplies, Ephesians 4:11-16

according to the effective working by which every part does its share, Ephesians 4:11-16

causes GROWTH of the BODY for the edifying of itself in love. Ephesians 4:11-16

For as the BODY is ONE, yet has many members, but all the members of that ONE BODY, being many, are ONE BODY… 1 Corinthians 12:12-27

1 Corinthians 12:12-27 So also is Christ. For by ONE SPIRIT we are baptized into ONE BODY, whether Jews or Greeks, 1 Corinthians 12:12-27

Whether slaves or free -- and have all been made to drink into ONE SPIRIT. 1 Corinthians 12:12-27

For in fact the BODY is not one member, but many For in fact the BODY is not one member, but many. If the foot should say, “Because I am not a hand, I am not of the BODY,” 1 Corinthians 12:12-27

Is it therefore not a part of the BODY Is it therefore not a part of the BODY? And if the ear should say, “Because I am not an eye, I am not a part of the BODY,” 1 Corinthians 12:12-27

Does that mean that it is not a part of the BODY Does that mean that it is not a part of the BODY? If the whole BODY were an eye, where would be the hearing? 1 Corinthians 12:12-27

If the whole were hearing, where would be the smelling? But now God has set the members, each one of them, 1 Corinthians 12:12-27

in the BODY just as He pleased in the BODY just as He pleased. But if they were all one member, where would the BODY be? 1 Corinthians 12:12-27

But now indeed there are many members, yet ONE BODY. 1 Corinthians 12:12-27

For we are members of HIS BODY, of HIS FLESH, and of HIS BONES. Ephesians 5:30

Covered us with His Life GRACE United us to Christ Covered us with His Life Forgave us by His Death Raised us to New Life Keeps us from Falling

Reveal that we are saved WORKS Reveal that we are saved Show our faithfulness Will either reward us Or Will condemn us

For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, 2 Corinthians 5:10

that each one may receive the things done in THE BODY, according to what he has done, whether good or bad. 2 Corinthians 5:10

I BELIEVE IN YOU, JESUS... You are the FULFILLMENT of God's Promises to me

I BELIEVE IN YOU, JESUS... You are the MESSIAH, the SON OF GOD, MY CREATOR AND SAVIOR

I BELIEVE IN YOU, JESUS... You LIVED for me

I BELIEVE IN YOU, JESUS... You DIED for me

I BELIEVE IN YOU, JESUS... You AROSE for me

I BELIEVE IN YOU, JESUS... You ASCENDED for me

I BELIEVE IN YOU, JESUS... You SHALL RETURN for me

I BELIEVE IN YOU, JESUS... And I AM YOURS FOREVER

Love one another, As I have loved You.
