Your Christian Rights, Rewards and Privileges
EQUALITY BETWEEN EACH CHRISTIAN MEANS THAT ALL FOLLOWERS ENJOY THE SAME RIGHTS, REWARDS and PRIVILEGES
In the page regarding “Christ's ONE Flock only have ONE Hope” we discovered that All Christians are in just ONE FLOCK and share just ONE Hope and definitely do not have two hopes.
It is also important for each and every follower of Christ to acquaint themselves with the blessings they will receive. This is a work in progress and we have so far only examined two bible books thoroughly but we are amazed at how many titles, Rights, promises and privileges we have already discovered which apply to each and every Christian whether they started hoping early on in Christ's ministry or even much later on in the twenty first century. ( Ephesians 4: 11-14)

30/ 1 Corinthians 12 verses 12 to 27 …..For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also is Christ. For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit. For the body is not one member, but many.
If the foot shall say, Because I am not the hand, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body?
And if the ear shall say, Because I am not the eye, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body?
If the whole body were an eye, where were the hearing? If the whole were hearing, where were the smelling?
But now hath God set the members every one of them in the body, as it hath pleased him.
And if they were all one member, where were the body?
But now are they many members, yet but one body.
And the eye cannot say unto the hand, I have no need of thee: nor again the head to the feet, I have no need of you.
Nay, much more those members of the body, which seem to be more feeble, are necessary:
And those members of the body, which we think to be less honourable, upon these we bestow more abundant honour; and our uncomely parts have more abundant comeliness.
For our comely parts have no need: but God hath tempered the body together, having given more abundant honour to that part which lacked.
That there should be no schism in the body; but that the members should have the same care one for another.
And whether one member suffer, all the members suffer with it; or one member be honoured, all the members rejoice with it.
Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular
