1 Corinthians 12:26-27
And if one member suffers, all the members suffer with it; if one member is honored, all the members rejoice with it. Now you are Christ's body, and individually members of it.

As I have traveled to so many countries over the years sharing the gospel, the good news, of Jesus Christ I have often been asked what church I belong to. My virtually automatic response to that query is, "I don't belong to a church, I am the church together with you if you are a Christian! I belong to the Lord because I was bought with a price!" {1Cor.6:20} The true church is an organism, not an organization. It is based on cooperation not a corporation!
 
The sad truth is that because of our all too common acceptance of denominationalism rather than boldly proclaiming the one name, the only name, by which men can be saved, Jesus {Acts 4:12} we present a 'crippled body' to the world rather than the glory of God! If I do not have a right relationship with you, my brother or sister, then I do not have the right relationship with the Lord that He desires. You have something that I need, and I have something that you need—we need each other. We need to repent of our division rather than boasting in it.
 
As the apostle Paul wrote, “For this is not for the ease of others and for your affliction, but by way of equality—at this present time your abundance being a supply for their want, that their abundance also may become a supply for your want, that there may be equality;” {2Cor.8:13-14}
 
That great truth is most certainly not just about material things but far more importantly, about spiritual things. Perhaps just a word of encouragement at the right time—or even a word of correction given in love. As King Solomon wrote: “A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in settings of silver.... As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another.” {Prov. 25:11 & 27:17}
 
The Lord has given each believer, not just some special ones, the fruit and the gifts of the Holy Spirit. Each one of us is given a manifestation of the Spirit for the common good. {1Cor.12:7} And if you have the heart of God and the mind of Christ you know that He has equipped us so that we can give. Never ever lose sight of what the Father gave:
 
“For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish, but have eternal life.” (John 3:16)
 
THERE IS ONE LORD, ONE FAITH, ONE BODY
