ONE is a number, the lowest cardinal number.

ONE is also used to refer to or identify a person.

And ONE also describes something of same quality and make-up, something that is identical. This is the meaning of ONE this write-up is about.

The Bible tells us in Hebrews 2:11, that those that are sanctified (the Body of Christ) are ONE with Him who sanctifies (Jesus Christ)

“For both He who sanctifies and those who are being sanctified are all of one, for which reason He is not ashamed to call them brethren”
Hebrews 2:11 NKJV

We are one with Him in quality and substance. As He is, so are we in this life (I John 4:17).

Imagine if I came to you saying and insisting that; ‘I want only your head to follow me’, you’ll probably look at me in confusion and probably quietly wondering if all is well with me… It is impossible for a head to be active, move on it’s own while seperate from the body.

Colossians 1:18 identifies Jesus Christ as the….head of the Church, the beginning and firstborn from the dead..

“And He is the head of the body, the church, who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in all things He may have the preeminence.”
Colossians 1:18 NKJV

“Now you [collectively] are Christ’s body and [individually] you are members of it, each part severally and distinct [each with his own place and function].”
1 Corinthians 12:27 AMPC

He is the Head of the Body (the Church; His Body, the Body of Christ). The Church constitutes other parts of the Body. But all are one and of the same make-up, the same person.

“so we, being many, are one body in Christ, and individually members of one another.”
Romans 12:5 NKJV

The Body of Christ is Christ. You are Christ! Jesus relies on His body to continue to function on earth. He is dependent on the Church even as the Church is dependent on Him.

I hope you think on this for a bit…

He died, was buried and resurrected, and we were in Him.

He conquered principalities and powers, we were in Him. We conquered them as well.

He overcame sin, sickness and death, and so did we.

He is seated at the right of the Father in Heaven, a position of authority, and we are seated with Him.

You are Christ!

“But the person who is united to the Lord becomes one spirit with Him.“
1 Corinthians 6:17 AMPC

This is good knowledge, however it is not a knowledge to get us puffed up, rather it should enable us walk in victory..

Jesus remained humble despite His God status, and so should we..

“He was like God in every way, but he did not think that his being equal with God was something to use for his own benefit. Instead, he gave up everything, even his place with God. He accepted the role of a servant, appearing in human form. During his life as a man, he humbled himself by being fully obedient to God, even when that caused his death—death on a cross.”
Philippians 2:6‭-‬8 ERV
