Dinner conversation: one body

The faithfulness of a few can impact the spiritual health of the whole body. A hard concept to swallow when you seem to be one of the few and there is no visibile benefit!

But, we can't see the effects on the heart when our legs walk or run... it's an "invisible" benefit. The legs are part of the same body, so their activity benefits the whole body. It can't not.

The body is a unit, though it is made up of many parts;

and though all its parts are many, they form one body.

So it is with Christ.

1Corinthinas 12:12

Those who faithfully answer God's call with obedience have an effect on the "heart" of the one chruch. Something happens where we can't see. It happens in the only place that really matters -- the spiritual realm -- the place of the eternal.

Through Christ, by way of the Spirit, we are one...

Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.

Galatians 6:9
