How do we know that believers are part of Christ's body?

Answered in 1 source

Believers are part of Christ’s body through their faith in Him and the regenerating work of the Holy Spirit.

The inclusion of believers as part of Christ's body is grounded in the act of regeneration facilitated by the Holy Spirit. As stated in Ephesians 2:8-9, it is by grace through faith that individuals are saved, making them part of the universal church, which is Christ's body. Every genuine believer, as outlined in John 1:13, is born not of blood or the will of man but of God, indicating a spiritual rebirth that connects them to the church. This connection manifests in a shared belief and love for one another, as believers seek the good of their fellow members, reflecting the unity that exists in Christ. The Spirit of God teaches all true believers to embrace this unity in faith, affirming their identity and mission within the body of Christ.
