For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones (Ephesians 5:30)
This is amazing! The Bible says, “For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones.” That means we’re the limbs of Christ; that’s what the word “members” means. Therefore, your legs are Christ’s legs; your hands are His hands. You’re inseparably fused as one with Him.
This is the meaning of 1 Corinthians 6:15 where it says, “Know ye not that your bodies are the members of Christ?…” That’s the same thing we read in Ephesians 5:30; it addresses individual members of the Church. In you, Christ is fully represented, expressed and manifested. He walks in you, talks in and through you, works in and through you.
Wherever you are, you’re the “body” of Christ—the limbs of Christ. This should be your daily consciousness. Being born again, you’ve come into union with Christ: that’s the biggest thing about our salvation. Not only has your spirit been recreated, you’ve been immersed into Christ; you became literally joined together with Him as one divine creation.
1 Corinthians 12:13 says, “For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body….” Now you can understand when the Bible says your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 6:19; 1 Corinthians 3:16). This isn’t a religious talk; it’s the reality of your life. You’re a God carrying vessel. Divinity is at work in you and revealed in and through you. Give attention to these truths; meditate on them and live accordingly every day.
CONFESSION
I acknowledge my divine union with Christ; every part of my body functions perfectly, reflecting the life and power of Christ within me. I walk in this consciousness, knowing that Christ is fully represented, expressed and manifested in and through me, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.
1 Corinthians 6:19
What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?
