Christianity is not a religion. At the heart of Christianity
is a relationship with Jesus Christ - the Son of the only true God.
Any ceremony preformed or viewed simply to have completed the
required act is useless in Christianity. Everything, and I
really mean everything, is done so that each one's individual
relationship with the Christ grows and most of all, so that His name
is exalted / magnified and so that more glory my be given to God.
The goal of this CPFI chapter is to help all
Christians understand that regardless of our denominational
backgrounds as Christians, we are to function as one. We are
to adhere to the teachings of the Holy Bible. We are the body
of Christ!
The Bible says: 4Just as
each of us has one body with many members, and these members do not
all have the same function, 5so in Christ we who are many
form one body, and each member belongs to all the others. 6We
have different gifts, according to the grace given us. If a man's
gift is prophesying, let him use it in proportion to his faith. 7If
it is serving, let him serve; if it is teaching, let him teach; 8if
it is encouraging, let him encourage; if it is contributing to the
needs of others, let him give generously; if it is leadership, let
him govern diligently; if it is showing mercy, let him do it
cheerfully. Romans
12
SO...How are we supposed to function as
the Body of Christ? First, we must become a child of God.
Everyone is a creation of God but not everyone is His child.
Check out the two links on the left to see what the Bible says about our
lives without a relationship with Jesus and how we may obtain one.
