How do we know that each member of the church is important?

Answered in 1 source

Scripture teaches that every member of the Body of Christ is indispensable, with even the less visible parts being crucial to the overall function.

In the teaching of 1 Corinthians 12, Paul emphasizes that the members of the body which seem to be less comely or necessary are actually indispensable. He explains that appearances can be deceiving; those who might be overlooked, such as the feet, are vital to the body's operation. Furthermore, God deliberately places each member in the Body according to His design to fulfill a particular purpose. This signifies that every believer, regardless of their role, contributes to the edification and functioning of the church. Hence, the church thrives not on outward displays but on the unity and care that members have for one another, underscoring that each member matters.
