He used the metaphor of a “human body” to relay significant truths about the church and to help believers understand the need for both unity and diversity within the church. In 1 Corinthians 12:12-14, the Apostle Paul wrote: “Just as a body, though one, has many parts, all its many parts form one body, so it is with Christ. For we were all baptized by one Spirit so as to form one body, whether Jews or Gentiles, slave or free, and we were all given the one Spirit to drink. Even so the body is not made up of one part but of many.” The church is called the Body of Christ because Christ is the head of the church, and those He called to be saved He also called to serve. The Holy Spirit enables each believer with a unique spiritual gift, and when those gifts are merged together, the mission of “The Church” reflects the earthly ministry of Jesus Christ.
