Part 4 - The Application of Faith
Overview: Edification to the Body of Christ
Synopsis
Love, the fruit of abiding in Christ, is further expressed in love for
God's people, the church. The church is a corporate relationship of members
to members and members to the Head, Jesus Christ. This relationship operates
correctly only through
agape love. Each believer has been separated from the world and placed
into the body of Christ through the sanctifying work of Christ.
Corresponding to this separation is the consecration of each member to serve
and build up the other members. No believer can glory in himself as being
self-made, but rather must glory in God who through each member is building
up the whole. Through attributing to God the glory that is His comes the
unity and love that the church is consecrated to.
