Week 4 | God Put the Body Together

Paul continues to emphasize how each member of the local church is a vital part to the everyday functioning of the body. Individualism has been a problem since the fall. Cain displayed it with how he regarded his brother (Genesis 4.9). His disdain for any relationship of care for his brother characterizes the way of the world. Priding ourselves on self-sufficiency and beliefs that we can go at things alone is a philosophy of Satan. It is rooted in the desire to make ourselves our own god.
