Why would Christians from another country feel right at home with believers here?
They feel at home because every born-again child of God is one in Christ. Despite different cultures, rich and poor, black and white, all believers have been saved by the same power and the same gospel, making them members of one spiritual body—the body of Christ.
Les explains that Paul uses the human body as an illustration: one body with many members. The body of Christ is made up of all kinds of people from around the world, with different cultures, yet if they have been saved by the same power and the same gospel, they are one in Christ. That is why a believer could enter a class of believers in the Philippines and feel perfectly at home in five minutes; born-again children of God from any part of the world would feel right at home. It is not an organization but a living organism, the body of Christ.
