Our Place in the Body of Christ

Slide 1:

 [Eph 1:4-5]

4 just as He (God) chose us in Him (Jesus) before the foundation of the world, that we should be

holy and without blame before Him in love, 5 having predestined us to adoption as sons by

Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will,

Slide 2:

[Rom 8:29]

29 For whom He foreknew, He also predestined [to be] conformed to the image of His Son, that

He might be the firstborn among many brethren.

Slide 3:

[1Jo 1:9]

9 If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us [our] sins and to cleanse us from all

unrighteousness.

Slide 4:

[Psa 133:1] ", how good and how pleasant [it is] For brethren to dwell together in unity!"

Slide 5:

[Mat 12:48-50]

48 But He answered and said to the one who told Him, "Who is My mother and who are My

brothers?" 49 And He stretched out His hand toward His disciples and said, "Here are My

mother and My brothers! 50 "For whoever does the will of My Father in heaven is My brother

and sister and mother."

Slide 6:

[Jhn 13:34-35]

34 "A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; as I have loved you, that you

also love one another. 35 "By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for

one another."

Slide 7:

Now this is the Law of the Jungle — as old and as true as the sky;

And the Wolf that shall keep it may prosper, but the Wolf that shall break it must die.

As the creeper that girdles the tree-trunk the Law runneth forward and back —

For the strength of the Pack is the Wolf, and the strength of the Wolf is the Pack.

Slide 8:

[Mat 28:19-20]

19 "Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father

and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 "teaching them to observe all things that I have

commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, [even] to the end of the age." Amen.

Slide 9:

[1Pe 5:8-9]

8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking

whom he may devour. 9 Resist him, steadfast in the faith, knowing that the same sufferings are

experienced by your brotherhood in the world.

Slide 10:

[Jas 1:22]

22 But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.

Slide 11:

[Jas 2:14-16] 14 What [does it] profit, my brethren, if someone says he has faith but does not

have works? Can faith save him? 15 If a brother or sister is naked and destitute of daily food, 16

and one of you says to them, "Depart in peace, be warmed and filled," but you do not give

them the things which are needed for the body, what [does it] profit?

Slide 12:

[Jas 2:17-20]

17 Thus also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead. 18 But someone will say, "You

have faith, and I have works." Show me your faith without your works, and I will show you my

faith by my works. 19 You believe that there is one God. You do well. Even the demons believe--

and tremble! 20 But do you want to know, O foolish man, that faith without works is dead?

Slide 13:

[Eph 2:8-9]

8 For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; [it is] the gift of

God, 9 not of works, lest anyone should boast.

Slide 14:

[Mar 10:45]

45 "For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a

ransom for many."

Slide 15:

[Tit 3:3-7]

3 For we ourselves were also once foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving various lusts and

pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful and hating one another. 4 But when the kindness

and the love of God our Savior toward man appeared, 5 not by works of righteousness which

we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us, through the washing of regeneration

and renewing of the Holy Spirit, 6 whom He poured out on us abundantly through Jesus Christ

our Savior, 7 that having been justified by His grace we should become heirs according to the

hope of eternal life.
