All true Christians are God's children.
By His great mercy and grace, we have a spiritual relationship to each other.

"For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one Body." 1Cor. 12:13
"So we, being many, ARE one Body in Christ, and every one members one of another." Rom. 12:5
"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." 1Cor. 12:12

There is now, not "going to be some wonderful day," only one church, one body.

"And He (JESUS CHRIST) is the head of the Body, the Church: Who is the beginning, the first born from the dead; that in all things He might have the preeminence." Col. 1:18
"And hath put all things under His feet and gave Him to be the head over all things to the Church." Eph. 1:22

The Resurrected Jesus: "Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and today, and for ever." Heb. 13:8

The True Church "Is": "There is one Body and one Spirit even as ye are called in one hope of your calling; one Lord, one Faith, one Baptism, one God and Father of all and through all and in you all." Eph. 4:4-6

Jesus says to His followers, The Church: "This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you." Jn. 15:12
"By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, (followers) if ye have love one to another." Jn. 13:35

There is no "Us and Them" in His Church.

• Do you love your brothers and sisters in the church, the body?
• Do you love your brothers and sisters in the church who believe different, secondary doctrines and teachings than you?
• Do you love your brothers and sisters in the church who are different in color than you?

"But as touching brotherly love ye need not that I write unto you: for ye yourselves are taught of God to love one another." 1Thes. 4:9

Your doctrinal differences or teachings should not affect your love for the body of Christ. If your teachings do, they are not of Christ.
"Is Christ divided?..." 1Cor. 1:13 NO!!
"We know that we have passed from death unto life, because we love the brethren. He that loveth not his brother abideth in death." 1Jn. 3:14
Have you passed from sin and death unto life eternal?

Are you speaking evil of your brother whom you have seen?
"If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen?" 1Jn. 4:20

Are you a true child of God?
"In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother." 1Jn. 3:10

When you love your brothers and sisters, you will have concern for them:

• You will care for them physically, spiritually, and materially.
• You will help them in their need.
• You will encourage them.
• You will rejoice with them.
• You will mourn with them.
• You will not have bad to say about them.
• You will defend their name and physical person.
• You will stand with them in goal and purpose.
• The goal and purpose is "bringing glory to God, souls to Jesus, and unity in the body."

Are you sure you are in the True Church, The Body of Christ?
Have you been baptized into The Body?
"For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body,….." 1Cor. 12:13
The way of entrance is only by His Spirit; not by water baptism, church membership or mental agreement to teachings.

Have you been born again of His Spirit?
..."Jesus declared, I tell you the truth, no one can see the kingdom of God unless he is born again." Jn. 3:3 NIV

Does He dwell in you and you in Him?
You can "know" when you are "in Him" and His Body, The Church.
"We know that we live in Him and He in us, because He has given us of His Spirit." 1Jn. 4:13 NIV

Does His Spirit bear witness with Your Spirit that you are a child of God?
"The Spirit Himself testifies with our spirit that we are God's children." Rom. 8:16 NIV
..."Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of His." Rom. 8:9

Call on His name today and come into the Glorious Body of Christ.
"And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the LORD shall be saved." Acts 2:21

Call on the Name of Jesus. He loves You and wants You to be "in Him."
"Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved..." Acts 4:12

Ask to be saved. Ask to be forgiven.
"If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." 1Jn. 1:9
"In Whom (Christ) we have redemption through His blood, even the forgiveness of sins." Col. 1:14

Believe His Word. He will help you to believe.
"That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is LORD," and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved." Rom. 10:9 NIV
"For, everyone who calls on the name of the LORD (Jesus) will be saved." Rom.10:13 NIV

You should "confess with your mouth" when you "believe in your heart."
Please tell us.
