Purpose: The Church as Member of One Body

In the same way we would give priority to caring for our own body (to make sure that all of our bodily members are functioning properly), God is concerned with keeping the “body of Christ” healthy and functioning. As a member of the church we are gifted with the task of serving Christ, and each one has the opportunity to serve for the betterment of the whole body. As the old children’s song goes, “All God’s children have a place in the choir, some sing low, and some sing higher.”
