The church is the body of Christ, and He alone is its head. We don’t have the authority to define what the church should be—because it belongs to Him. Only Christ has the right to determine its nature and purpose.
Be shepherds of the church of God, which he bought with his own blood. Acts 20:28b
Aaron’s sons Nadab and Abihu put coals of fire in their incense burners and sprinkled incense over them. In this way, they disobeyed the Lord by burning before him the wrong kind of fire, different than he had commanded. So fire blazed forth from the Lord’s presence and burned them up, and they died there before the Lord. Leviticus 10:1-2
Let us think of ways to motivate one another to acts of love and good works. And let us not neglect our meeting together, as some people do, but encourage one another, especially now that the day of his return is drawing near. Hebrews 10:24-25
All of you together are Christ’s body, and each of you is a part of it. 1 Corinthians 12:27
As a fellow elder, I appeal to you: Care for the flock that God has entrusted to you. Watch over it willingly, not grudgingly—not for what you will get out of it, but because you are eager to serve God. 1 Peter 5:1-2
