1 Corinthians 12:18 (ESV Strong's)
18 But as it is, God arranged the members in the body, each one of them, as he chose.
God Arranges the Body
The word picture of the “Body of Christ” is an amazing word picture. When believers come to Christ, we are “placed” into the greater Church. The greater Church, Paul states, above, that Christ puts the believers in the body they way He deems best. Not all of believer play the same role. It is easy for believers to desire certain roles, gifts and positions in the church. The above passage is to let us know that God is the one who put us in the body the way He desires. We need to accept our roles in the Body.
My 2025 Theme Verses: Ezra 7:10 (ESV) For Ezra had set his heart to study the Law of the LORD, and to do it and to teach his statutes and rules in Israel. Daniel 1:8 (ESV) But Daniel resolved that he would not defile himself with the king’s food, or with the wine that he drank. Therefore he asked the chief of the eunuchs to allow him not to defile himself.
