You see Christ within yourself and others and you become what you see.

You see Christ within yourself and others and you become what you see.

You see Christ within yourself and others and you become what you see. When you see Jesus Christ as He is, a many-membered body on earth joined to the Head in heaven, you become like Him. Why do you become like Him? You’re changed because you fill your mind with the Spirit of Christ Who reigns in righteousness over your mind.

Fitting into Christ’s Body

The Kingdom of God isn’t an individual effort, but God is chiseling you and shaping you to be a stone in His Temple. Holiness is Christ formed within. You become the part of the body of Christ God created you to be. As a member of the body of Christ, you would be irrelevant if you weren’t in your place in the body of Christ. You wouldn’t be walking in obedience to the Spirit of Christ if you weren’t in your place in the body of Christ. Just as a finger becomes useless if it’s cut from the body, so you must know how you fit into Christ’s body. Just as a shoulder out of joint causes pain, you must know how you fit into Christ’s body.
