1 Corinthians 12:14(For the body is not one member, but many. 15 If the foot shall say, because I am not the hand, I am not the body; is therefore not of the body? 26 And whether one member suffer, all the members suffer with it; or one member be honored, all the members rejoice with it. 27 Now you are the body of Christ, and a members in particular). Romans 7:4(Wherefore, my brethren, ye also are become dead to the law by the body of Christ; that ye should be married to another, even to him who is raised from the dead, that we should bring forth fruit unto God).
As a believer, you are the body
of Christ. Salvation makes you part of his body which means whatever affects
you also affects him. This is so sweet and relieving because knowing that
whoever troubles me troubles Jesus and makes me so powerful. No wonder, Galatian 6:17 says, (From henceforth let
no man trouble me: for I bear in my body the marks of the Lord Jesus). As part of his body, Christ has put a
mark of exception on each part of his body and the mark is to keep the enemies
far away from us. What the enemies do is to try very hard to remove the mark in
order to attack us. Please don’t allow him because you are not ignorant of his
devices. This seal was put upon every individual at new birth when we give our
life to Christ; it is called the seal of the Holy Spirit. If it is called the
seal of the Holy Spirit this means that it requires holiness to maintain. Ephesians 1:13(In whom ye also trusted,
after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom
also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that Holy Spirit of promise). 2
Thessalonians 1:6(Seeing it is a righteous thing with God to recompense
tribulation to them that trouble you). God said that he will trouble anyone
that troubles us and your enemies know this too that’s why they want to get you
out of your safe zone so that they can attack you. Another outstanding benefit
of being a member of his body is that whatever pain you feel he feels it too
and will see to it that you are well. If your hand is paining you, won’t you go
and take care of it? That is how it is between us and Jesus. Being part of his
body is the safest place to be in this wicked world. Your child is part of your
body that’s why when it is time for you to pick her from school, you don’t
forget because your heart will always be there. If we as humans feel this way,
how much more our heavenly father feels. Jesus said if you have seen him you
have seen the father, so it is with us that anyone that sees us has seen Jesus
us also. That’s why we are called Christians. You may ask, Nene, how can I maintain
my seal or to get the seal. To maintain your seal you need to bear good fruit
because God will cut off any part of the body of Christ that bears no fruit
(John 15:1-2). To be part of his body, you need to accept him as your Lord and
savior.
Lord Jesus, I come to you today, I am a sinner, and I cannot
help myself, forgive me my sins, and cleanse me with your precious blood.
Deliver me from sin and Satan to serve the living God. Lord Jesus, I accept you
as my Lord and savior. Now I know I am Born Again, Amen.
