Who makes up the Body of Christ according to Paul?
Paul teaches that the Body of Christ is composed of believers—a special compilation or amalgamation drawn from every walk of life and every corner of the globe. They become members by believing the Gospel. This includes Gentiles, to whom Paul was made a minister according to God's dispensation.
Les explains that Paul constantly reminds us that we are members of the Body of Christ, a special compilation, a special amalgamation of believers from every walk in life and from every corner of the globe by virtue of having believed the Gospel. In the surrounding context, Paul says he was made a minister according to the dispensation of God given for the Gentiles, and he was given this to the Apostle of Gentiles so he could give it to Gentiles to fulfill, or bring to completion, the Word of God. The mystery or secret had been hid from ages and generations but now is made manifest to His saints.
