Ephesians 5:30
For we are members of His body, of His
flesh, and of His bones
Paul is making an analogy of the family and Christ's
church where he asks a profound question, has a man ever hated his own flesh
(v.29)? Paul answers the question by saying that man loves himself and will not
harm himself and further explain that all believers are members of Christ's
body, His flesh and bones. That said, all believers are born of the Spirit of
God and are compelled to live godly giving reverence to Him for who He is and
what He done for us.
Christ being the head of the church; His body so is He
the head of our lives. In our earthly family the man is the head. The wife and
children are to be submissive unto him in love emulating the godly structure
established by God.
As members of Christ's body each has a function just
as the earthly family. The human body has only one head and different parts of
the body each having their own function to complete the body. This principle
applies to the body of Christ.
Believers, it is a blessing to be members of Christ's
body-the church who is His bride and one day the marriage will occur between
Christ and the church.
Believers, we are of one body with many
members.
