Believers Are the Body of Christ

2 CORINTHIANS 6:14-16

14 Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? 15 And what concord hath CHRIST with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel? 16 And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
We as believers are righteousness; we are light; and we are the Body of Christ. Jesus said, “I am the vine, ye are the branches . . .” (John 15:5). You don’t look at a tree and say the branches on that tree aren’t a part of the tree because they are. The tree and the branches are one. We as believers are the Body of Christ. We are the fruit-bearing part of Christ because the branches of a tree are what bear fruit. The Bible talks about us bearing fruits of righteousness.
Righteousness as a stage of spiritual development is a fruit of the born-again recreated human spirit and it takes time to grow. Amen
