Belonging to Christ is not a solo journey—it is a life woven together with others. In the body of Christ, every believer has a unique role, just as every part of the human body contributes to its health and function. Pride isolates, self-reliance weakens, but humility draws us together under the Lordship of Jesus. Every act of service—teaching, encouraging, giving, leading, showing mercy—becomes worship when offered through His strength and for His glory.

Paul reminds us to think with sober judgment, recognizing that every gift we possess comes from God by grace. These gifts are not meant for personal recognition, but to strengthen, comfort, and build up the church. In a culture that exalts independence, Scripture calls us into interdependence—living well-connected to Christ and His people, where our faith finds expression in community and collaboration.

When believers serve in the measure of faith God has entrusted to them, the church flourishes with unity, joy, and eternal impact. Each contribution, no matter how small, plays a part in revealing Christ to the world. How are you using your gifts to strengthen others and reflect the love of Jesus in your community?
