How do we know that believers are united in the Body of Christ?

Answered in 1 source

Believers are united in the Body of Christ through divine election and the baptizing work of the Holy Spirit.

The unity of believers in the Body of Christ is achieved by divine election, as stated in 1 Corinthians 1:30, where it affirms that God the Father has chosen individuals and placed them in Christ. Additionally, 1 Corinthians 12:13 reveals that believers are baptized into one body by the Holy Spirit, not through a physical act, but through a spiritual immersion into Christ and His work. This vital union is not only achieved through predestination, but it is also manifested in faith and the preaching of the gospel, confirming that those elected by God will indeed be drawn into the body of Christ through Him.
