The body of Christ is NOT a church group or denomination
The body of Christ is made up of those people who know Jesus and are following Him as disciples. They are the real church of which Jesus is the Head and Master. They are in a relationship with Jesus and hear His voice, they are guided by the Holy Spirit. The body of Christ is a Spiritual organism, not a physical organization with buildings and facilities.
The church in a specific location will be ONE body of Christ not many small groups and churches. Either you are a disciple and follow Jesus or you are a member of an organization.
Jesus Himself builds His church. He sends messengers to sow the seed, the message of the kingdom of God. He makes the seed grow and adds onto His Body those who have accepted Him. He sends workers to feed His sheep. His Body is One. There is no hierarchy in the body of Christ, no managers and leaders. Christ is everything in everybody. Those who are sent to minister are servants to the body, to care and look after the members.
The members of the body of Christ care for each other. They are known by their love for each other.
