Romans 12

Paul compared the church to the human body: Each of us has a different function to do. We each have a different gift given to us by God and we are expected to use it to the fullest. We are to show love to each other and to those around us. Even if people wrong us, we should not retaliate, but instead respond with kindness. Leave the payback to God.

God made each of us differently, not to divide us, but so that our differences would complement one another. We need to make sure that as the body of Christ, we work together for His will and purpose. Together we need to share the love of Christ with those around us so the world can see Him in us.
