Calling is Corporate

The election of Christ involves implicitly the election of the church, obviously; the corporate body of the elect is comprised of individuals. However, the election is primarily corporate and only secondarily individual. The New Testament comprehends believers, not in isolation, but as members of the body of the elect

Ephesians 1:1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 11, 12; 2:4, 5, 6, 7, 10, We are called together as a family, one body, a church, the holy temple.

Ephesians 1:22 and 23 Christ is the head; the church is his body.

Ephesians 2:13-16; 3:6-10 One body made up of all those who believe

3:18 – May be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth

4:1-4, 11-16; 25 The way God sees the church is one body.

Colossians 1:18; 2:17-19; 3:15

1Corinthians 12:12-27 The called out make up the body of Christ.
