guess how He has ensured this for us as Christians but very very difficult or nearly impossible for others - anyone know and wish to tell us or anyone want to know and be told - wincam
One bread, one body, one Lord of all, no?
1 Corinthians 10:16
16The cup of blessing that we bless, is it not a participation in the blood of Christ? The bread that we break, is it not a participation in the body of Christ?
Romans 12:3-21
3For by the grace given to me I say to everyone among you not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think with sober judgment, each according to the measure of faith that God has assigned.
4For as in one body we have many members,[SUP]
e[/SUP] and the members do not all have the same function,
5so we, though many, are one body in Christ, and individually members one of another.
6Having gifts that differ according to the grace given to us, let us use them: if prophecy, in proportion to our faith;
7if service, in our serving; the one who teaches, in his teaching;
8the one who exhorts, in his exhortation; the one who contributes, in generosity; the one who leads,[SUP]
f[/SUP] with zeal; the one who does acts of mercy, with cheerfulness.
9Let love be genuine. Abhor what is evil; hold fast to what is good.
10Love one another with brotherly affection. Outdo one another in showing honor.
11Do not be slothful in zeal, be fervent in spirit,[SUP]
g[/SUP] serve the Lord.
12Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer.
13Contribute to the needs of the saints and seek to show hospitality.
14Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse them.
15Rejoice with those who rejoice, weep with those who weep.
16Live in harmony with one another. Do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly.[SUP]
h[/SUP] Never be wise in your own sight.
17Repay no one evil for evil, but give thought to do what is honorable in the sight of all.
18If possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all.
19Beloved, never avenge yourselves, but leave it[SUP]
i[/SUP] to the wrath of God, for it is written, “Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord.”
20To the contrary, “if your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him something to drink; for by so doing you will heap burning coals on his head.”
21Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
1 Peter 3:8-12
8Finally, all of you, have unity of mind, sympathy, brotherly love, a tender heart, and a humble mind.
9Do not repay evil for evil or reviling for reviling, but on the contrary, bless, for to this you were called, that you may obtain a blessing.
10For
“Whoever desires to love life
and see good days,
let him keep his tongue from evil
and his lips from speaking deceit;
11let him turn away from evil and do good;
let him seek peace and pursue it.
12For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous,
and his ears are open to their prayer.
But the face of the Lord is against those who do evil.”
