Good morning people who have the peace of Christ through your connection to His body.

Colossians 3:15 NIV Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful. 

Paul’s instruction (encouragement) to let the peace of Christ rule in our hearts is followed by some insightful statements.

Since as members of one body.

There is a connection between the peace of Christ ruling in our hearts and our embracing of the truth that we are members of one body.

There are not many things more destructive than isolation. Walking life alone is not God’s creative design. One of God’s first statements to man was that it is not good for him to live alone. We were created by a relational God to be relational beings.

The Bible talks so much about one body and many members. Being connected to the body and contributing to the health of the body is the only right narrative we see in God’s Word. And today I see the connection to this and the peace of Christ ruling in our hearts.

There is something glorious and wonderful about being part of something much bigger than just us! Yes, God is who our confidence is in, but He places us as members of His body.

Are you committed to the body of Christ?

Are you contributing to the body of Christ?

Do you love the bride of Christ like Christ loves His bride?
