1 Corinthians 12: 12 says, “For just as the body is one and has many members, and all the members of the body, though many, are one body, so it is with Christ.” and vs. 27 says, “Now you are the body of Christ and individually members of it.”
As a part of the body of Christ, it is important that we each individually use our gifts and talents to serve others in the church. It is important to get involved–to give to, to receive from, and to be an active part of the body of Christ.
