Paul said that we Believers, members of the Ecclesia are part of the body of Jesus Christ.

I often wondered what that meant and what we are to do as a part of such an ethereal body.

Live our lives as Jesus would here on earth is, of course, an impossibility.

Be sinless? Hah! 

 Considering this possibility is unimaginable..no one is sinless, not even Paul by his own admission.

What then are we to do to try to be worthy, now?

Live our lives as decently as humanly possible, certrainly.  

But what else, are we to do here on earth, before ascending to join the Christ in heaven and engage in battle with those entities who oppose Him?

Then, I received the answer from a logical source, CONCORDANT PUBLISHING CONCERN, in their latest UNSEARCHAbLE RICHES (if you haven't yet subscribed, may I urge you to do so, just $25/year).

In it we are reminded that, as a part of the body of Christ, we have the mind of Christ.

To have the mind of Christ "is to focus on what God says to us to listen attentively to ("obey") the message "Christ crucified".  In the death of Christ in suffering and forsakenness, we perceive a mind that focused in faith and every detail of God's word to Him."

In other words, in our mind we must grasp wholey just what our Lord did for us and all mankind, accepting it, and in doing so be joyful in our thoughts and at peace in everything we do, being guided by love..paulnbob
