Hymn singing ‘the Church is Christ own Body’ during the Lord’s day meeting on 2/5/17 in Malabon, Philippines. – via Licardo Ong Moleta
We need a trance to see the intrinsic view of the Body Of Christ in Ephesians 4. This chapter says that we need to be diligent to keep the oneness of the Spirit (v. 3). Then it continues by saying, “One Body and one Spirit, even as also you were called in one hope of your calling; one Lord, one faith, one baptism; one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all” (vv. 4-6). Ephesians 4 presents the real scenery of the Body Of Christ. This group comprising four persons—the Body, the Spirit, the Lord, and God the Father—forms a unit, and this unit, this entity, is the Body Of Christ, the church. The Father is embodied in the Son, the Son is realized as the Spirit, and the Spirit is mingled with the believers. This mingling is the constitution of the Body Of Christ.(The Intrinsic View of the Body of Christ, Chapter 4)
