Page 40 - Establishing Right Priorities in a Wrong World
P. 40
LESSON #20:
“THE BODY AND THE BRIDE OF JESUS CHRIST”
The Body of Christ and the Bride of Christ.
These are the last two of the twelve priorities of God we
have been examining. We shall consider them together
because one (the Bride) is formed out of the other (the
Body). We become members of the Body of Christ by
means of the new birth, “For by one Spirit we were
baptized into one body...” (1 Cor. 12:13).
As members of that body, we become betrothed to
Christ. However, Paul also expresses a fear of
corruption of the espoused Bride by the craftiness of
Satan through the presentation of “another Jesus...
a different spirit...a different gospel.”
