The body of Christ does not…
keep the law of Moses
talk in unknown tongues
sell all they have
circumcise
heal the sick
raise the dead
look for signs
get physical curses for doing evil
get physical blessings for doing good
collect the tithe
water baptize
look for new Jerusalem
work for salvation
endure to the end
go into the tribulation
cast out demons
etc., etc,. etc..
All these things belong to the nation of Israel!
However the body of Christ …
has all spiritual blessings
has a heavenly hope
has eternal life by grace through faith
will not go through the wrath to come
will get a personal escort off this planet by the Son Of God himself
does preach the gospel of the Grace of God
has personal, instant, access to God apart from a priest
is complete in Christ
is secure in Christ
is baptized in Christ
is circumcised in Christ
is dead with Christ
is risen with Christ
is alive in Christ
will rule in the heavens with Christ
has victory over sin - right now
is part of a total victory program - right now
knows the will of God - right now
These are things that relate ONLY to the church the body of Christ! And this is only a quick, random sampling!!
Ambassador you get ***** Good study, thanks
