You Belong in the Body of Christ
Every believer has a place and purpose in God’s family.
No one is meant to walk the Christian journey alone. Jesus invites each person to belong—to be connected to Him and to His body, the church. Feelings of isolation or unworthiness are answered by Christ’s declaration that you are wanted and needed. When you give your life to Jesus, you are welcomed into a family where your presence and gifts matter. Embracing this belonging brings freedom, purpose, and a sense of home that cannot be found elsewhere.
Romans 12:4-5 (ESV)
For as in one body we have many members, and the members do not all have the same function, so we, though many, are one body in Christ, and individually members one of another.
Reflection: In what ways have you held back from fully belonging to your church community? What is one step you can take to connect more deeply this week?
