Ephesians 1:22-23

KJV22And hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head over all things to the church,23Which is his body, the fulness of him that filleth all in all.



WEB22He put all things in subjection under his feet, and gave him to be head over all things for the assembly,23which is his body, the fullness of him who fills all in all.




These are my thoughts, please share yours.



22 Christ was given the church we are His bride, He will look after us and instruct us. We are to look to Jesus as Christians whether as individuals or as a church body. We fight our flesh because it causes us to want to do our own thing it is by fighting our flesh that we can follow after Jesus and make Him our head, leader. If we are letting our flesh lead us then Jesus is no longer the head of us, if anything but Christ is leading us then He is no in His proper place.


23 The church is now the body of Christ, this means two things first it means that God’s Spirit dwells in the church, the people not a building although His presence can be felt inside the church house. Second it means we are the hands the heart the actually body of Jesus and we are to do as He would because He is not here in body form to do it so anything that the Lord wants to be done in body form is our responsibility as the church.
