*Effective Christianity in the Body of Christ*
*October 25, 1998 Topical*
*Introduction:*
We are in the body of Christ.
In the body of Christ, each part serves the other parts.
This service must have Christ’s perspective to be effective.
This effectiveness is the outworking of spiritual power.
Spiritual power reveals the Needs which require ministry.
Spiritual power imparts the Gifts which respond to Needs.
Spiritual power affirms the Call which divinely connects them.
Discerning the need, possessing and developing the gift, and obeying the call makes effective Christian servants.
In Christ, servants are leaders.
(1John 1:3)
*To be effective, a Christian servant leader must:*
* *
*I.
Be wholly dedicated to God’s glory.
(Eph.
1:3-14)*
A.
God’s glory in us in the blessing of praise.
*Eph 1:3 ¶ Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ.*
B.
God’s glory in us is timeless.
*Eph 1:4 For he chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight.
In love*
C.
God’s glory in us is Christ.
*Eph 1:5 he predestined us to be adopted as his sons through Jesus Christ, in accordance with his pleasure and will--*
*Eph 1:6 to the praise of his glorious grace, which he has freely given us in the One he loves.*
D.
God’s glory in us saves us.
*Eph 1:7 In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God's grace*
*Eph 1:8 that he lavished on us with all wisdom and understanding.*
E.
God’s glory in us reveals his will.
*Eph 1:9 And he made known to us the mystery of his will according to his good pleasure, which he purposed in Christ,*
*Eph 1:10 to be put into effect when the times will have reached their fulfillment-- to bring all things in heaven and on earth together under one head, even Christ.*
\\ F.
God’s glory in us reveals those who will perform his will.
*Eph 1:11 In him we were also chosen, having been predestined according to the plan of him who works out everything in conformity with the purpose of his will,*
*Eph 1:12 in order that we, who were the first to hope in Christ, might be for the praise of his glory.*
G.
God’s glory in us empowers us.
*Eph 1:13 And you also were included in Christ when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation.
Having believed, you were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit,*
H.
God’s glory in us rewards us.
*Eph 1:14 who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God's possession-- to the praise of his glory.*
*II.
Understand the principles and practices of God’s grace.
*
* (Acts 20:22-24)*
A.
God’s grace is compulsion.
*Ac 20:22 "And now, compelled by the Spirit, I am going to Jerusalem, not knowing what will happen to me there.*
B.
God’s grace is insight.
*Ac 20:23 I only know that in every city the Holy Spirit warns me that prison and hardships are facing me.*
C.
God’s grace is humility.
*Ac 20:24 However, I consider my life worth nothing to me,*
D.
God’s grace is power.
*if only I may finish the race and complete the task the Lord Jesus has given me--*
E.
God’s grace is effectiveness.
*the task of testifying to the gospel of God's grace.*
*III.
Have a burden and concern for the entire body.
*
* (1Cor.
12:4-27; Eph.
4:11-16)*
A.
The parts of the body are functionally diverse.
*1Co 12:4 There are different kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit.*
*1Co 12:5 There are different kinds of service, but the same Lord.*
*1Co 12:6 There are different kinds of working, but the same God works all of them in all men.*
\\ B.
The parts of the body are each necessary to the whole.
*1Co 12:7 Now to each one the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the common good.*
*1Co 12:8 To one there is given through the Spirit the message of wisdom, to another the message of knowledge by means of the same Spirit,*
*1Co 12:9 to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing by that one Spirit,*
*1Co 12:10 to another miraculous powers, to another prophecy, to another distinguishing between spirits, to another speaking in different kinds of tongues, and to still another the interpretation of tongues.*
*1Co 12:11 All these are the work of one and the same Spirit, and he gives them to each one, just as he determines.*
C.
The parts of the body are God’s creation design.
*1Co 12:12 ¶ The body is a unit, though it is made up of many parts; and though all its parts are many, they form one body.
So it is with Christ.*
D.
The parts of the body are equal.
*1Co 12:13 For we were all baptized by one Spirit into one body-- whether Jews or Greeks, slave or free-- and we were all given the one Spirit to drink.*
*1Co 12:14 Now the body is not made up of one part but of many.*
*1Co 12:15 If the foot should say, "Because I am not a hand, I do not belong to the body," it would not for that reason cease to be part of the body.*
*1Co 12:16 And if the ear should say, "Because I am not an eye, I do not belong to the body," it would not for that reason cease to be part of the body.*
*1Co 12:17 If the whole body were an eye, where would the sense of hearing be?
If the whole body were an ear, where would the sense of smell be?*
*1Co 12:18 But in fact God has arranged the parts in the body, every one of them, just as he wanted them to be.*
*1Co 12:19 If they were all one part, where would the body be?*
*1Co 12:20 As it is, there are many parts, but one body.*
*1Co 12:21 The eye cannot say to the hand, "I don't need you!"
And the head cannot say to the feet, "I don't need you!"*
*1Co 12:22 On the contrary, those parts of the body that seem to be weaker are indispensable,*
*1Co 12:23 and the parts that we think are less honorable we treat with special honor.
