1\u00a0Corinthians 12:13-14<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\n

\u201c<\/em>For by one Spirit we were all baptized into one body\u2014whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free\u2014and have all been made to drink into one Spirit. For in fact<\/u> the body is not one member but many.<\/span><\/em>\u201d<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

God\u2019s Word<\/em> is true regardless of how many people try to deny it. Since it is a fact that it is God\u2019s message to each and every one of us, it is important that we listen to what is written and then obey.<\/p>\n

Paul is writing to the church at Corinth in today\u2019s Scripture. He calls for us to be united in serving the Lord. He speaks of the church as being a body. I like that. A body is made up of many parts. Each part has a different function, but all working together make the body function effectively. Try hitting your thumb with a hammer and, once you wrap it up, notice how hard it is to function with just one thumb injured.<\/p>\n

God does not intend us to compromise with the fundamentals of the faith. There is only one way to heaven and that is through the atoning blood of Jesus Christ. But it is tragic that divisions have existed between true believers just on the basis of race or social status. THAT MUST NOT BE!<\/p>\n

The FACT of God\u2019s plan for His church is love for the brothers and sisters. We need to stop the competition and show love for others. We need to pray for one another and assist for the furtherance of the Kingdom!<\/p>\n

May God richly bless you as you bless others by your words and actions!<\/p>\n
