As we gaze into God’s perfect law of liberty, we distinguish Christ the body from everything else.
As we gaze into God’s perfect law of liberty that’s like looking into a mirror, we can distinguish Christ the body from everything else. (James 1:23) We concentrate attentively on the revelation God is showing us and realize that what we do to a brother or sister we do to Christ.
If we fail to focus on Christ (the ministry) in our brother or sister, strife and division will follow. A husband who focuses on his wife’s fleshly nature will open doors for demonic activity in the home. A wife who focuses on the shortcomings of her husband’s fleshly nature also tears down her home with her hands. Children who fail to focus on Christ and the delegated authority God has required the parents to fulfill will be unhappy and rebellious. Parents who don’t realize they are dealing with Christ when they deal with their children will find parenting difficult, and this will become evident when the children get into their teen years. The same is true for members of the local churches. How important to see reality as it is! Yes. Each of us HAS a fleshly nature with all the shortcomings of the flesh. However, each of us IS the ministry within with all the authority and power of Christ. That is your identity. That ministry, Christ in you, is who you are. We need each other in the same way the parts of our physical bodies need each other. Members can fail to see the delegated authority in other members, including their elders or the apostles, so pray for eyes to see. We need to submit to one another because, in so doing, we are submitting to Christ. (Ephesians 5:21) (Your Metamorphosis – Scientia)
