God likens the Church to the human body, a living organism. Just as the human body needs organization to function in accordance with the way God designed it, so does the Church. Read the following to add to this understanding:
How Does Organization Help the Church Function as a Living Organism?
- Living organisms have a purpose that requires them to function a certain way.
- Living organisms need an integration of its parts into the whole.
- Living organisms need to be growing.
Let’s make sure organization helps us experience Body life, not hinder us from being that living organism God designed us to be.
The Steering the Church Toward Body Life Leadership Guide includes Scripture for these three points along with brief comment.
