The body of Christ are true believers (The Church). Not everyone in a church is part of the body of Christ because we know that not all church members belong to Christ.
Some are counterfeit or false.
See Romans 12:4-5; I Corinthians 12: 12-14; 12:27; Ephesians 5:29-30; Colossians 1:18.
The temple of the Holy Spirit is also the Body of Christ (Ephesians 2:19-22)
and each individual believer (I Corinthians 3:16-17; 6:20).

He created it and He will renew it when you are resurrected. This is one of the reasons we obey God because we belong to Him , body, soul, and spirit.

He illuminates the Holy Word to us as we read and He teaches us. He witnesses to us that we are the children of God. And He does much more for us than we can imagine.
