The Body in Ephesians and The Call To Ministry
As Paul wrote to The Church in Ephesus, he was used by The Holy Spirit to write what each Christian needs for living and growing in The Body of Christ. As we read through Ephesians, one of the main ideas Paul wrote about was The Christian Church and our relationships within The Body. This Study focuses attention on that theme.
Here is a list of the verses in Ephesians which deal with the Theme -
THE Body of Christ
1:1 To The Saints, 1:5 Predestined and adopted as sons, 10 To Head Up All Things in CHRIST
17 The Father of Glory who gave us wisdom with revelation in him 22 HE is Head over all, 23 HIS Body the Fullness
2:6 made us seated together in Heavenly Places 14 made us ONE, 15 One New Man, 16 One Body
18 access to GOD The Father, 19 Members of GOD's House 21 an Holy Temple in The Lord 22 Dwelling Place of GOD
3:6 Joint Heirs and Body in Christ Jesus 17 Christ in your Hearts -
4:3 Oneness in The Spirit, 4 One Body, 5 One LORD, 6 One GOD 11 HE gave some leaders, 12 to build up the Body
13 Oneness to the Full Measure & Stature to HIS Glory 14 No longer babes, 16 all The Body each Part a member
24 Put on the new man, 32 be kind to one another and forgiving 5:1 Beloved Children, 8 walk as Children in light
20 GOD The Father, 23 Christ The Head of the Church 27 HE might present the Church to Himself a Spotless Bride
