Article 103-6 - Shared Life Rom.1:6; 12:4,5

1Jo.1:3

Rom.6:3,4
103-6.1 Each believer belongs to Jesus Christ and to every other believer.1 This 4
1Cor.12:13
belonging is a relationship to God the Father,2 God the Son,3 God the Holy 5
1Pe.2:9,10
Spirit4 and to all who belong to God.5 This relationship is not the result of 6
John 3:3,5

human effort, but begins with being born from above6 and is the living out of 2Pe.1:4

1Jo.1:7
the divine nature7 under the Lordship of Christ and the authority of His revealed 9
1Cor.10:14-22; 2Cor.6:14,15
Word.8 It unites all believers to one another and causes them to be different 10
Eph.2:11-16; Rom.15:5-7
from their world.9 11
Eph.4:14-16
12
1Jo.3:13-18
103-6.2 The union with the Lord and with one another is spiritual. The 13
Acts 4:32-35; 2Cor.8:1-5
relationship of each believer with the Lord is the basis for the relationship 14
1Cor.12:14-27
15
between believers10 in sharing truth,11 love,12 and possessions.13 It is dependence, Acts 2:44-47

  14 Participation in 17

this life affects every believer and church15 and impacts their ministry in the 18

world and to the world.16 19
Rom.12:1,2
20
1Pe.4:10
103-6.3 Shared life is a privilege and a responsibility.17 The life of the church, 21
Rom.12:3-13:10
therefore, must be a renewing, God-glorifying celebration of life in Christ and 22
Eph.4:11-16
23
a spiritual participation with other believers.18 Sharing this life in the presence 1Tim.6:11,12
24
1Cor.5:12,13
of God is worship19 and demands the loving exercise of spiritual gifts20 as well 25
Acts 5:11
as realization that we are responsible to one another before God.21 The exercise 26
Gal.6:2; Heb.13:16
of these gifts builds up one another and equips the saints for the Lord’s work.22 27
Eph.4:31-5:2
28
Because this responsibility and accountability are necessary for the church 2Cor.2:7,8; Gal.5:25-6:2; Phile.10,11,15,16
29
1Cor.12:6-11
to grow in godliness,23 discipline must be practiced in every community of 30
John 10:3-5
believers.24 Not to do so brings the very name of Christ into dishonor.25 31
Phil.1:27
32
Acts 11:19-26; Phil.4:14-16; Col.2:1,2;1Pe.5:9
103-6.4 Responding in mercy, carrying each other’s burdens,26 is also a 33
Acts 13:1-4
responsibility and privilege of all believers to one another, and causes 34
Gal.3:27,28; Eph.2:14-16
them to love, care, share, and be involved with one another.27 All believers,
and the church as a body, must recognize, accept, and practice the spiritual
responsibilities of being one in Christ, no matter how deeply a fellow believer
has fallen into sin or the miseries of this world.28
103-6.5 Every believer is a member of the body of Christ and must be joyfully
and personally responsible to live a life of loyalty to the Lord of the church,29 to
His Word30 and involvement in its ministry31 and purpose.32 This responsibility,
although primarily focused on the local body, extends beyond the particular
church to other bodies of believers.33 Because this is true, the shared life of the
church breaks down the barriers of race, class, culture, ethnicity, gender, and
geography, for all believers are one in Christ.34
