Commentary on Romans 12:5

Theological / Devotional

One body in Christ. As the many parts compose one body in the man, so the multitude of Christians are one body in Christ. Christ is the One who unites and energizes the whole company of believers. Compare Paul’s description of Christ as the head of the body and the members all subject to Him (Ephesians 1:22; 4:15, 16; Colossians 1:18). This unity of the Christian church implies the mutual dependence of its members. Since they all belong to one body, they individually belong to one another. Thus Paul enjoins believers to work together, each in his proper sphere, for the common welfare of the church.
