What does it mean to be part of the church according to the sermon?

Answered in 1 source

Being part of the church means being the body of Christ, united in faith, rather than merely attending a physical location.

The sermon articulates that the church is not a physical structure or mere attendance but is fundamentally the body of Christ. This means that true belonging to the church involves a living connection with other believers, as collectively they make up the body through which God's grace is demonstrated in the world. The focus should be on the spiritual realities of being justified and sanctified by Christ rather than on the rituals or mere activities associated with church attendance. Christians are called to embody the essence of the church by engaging in good works, loving one another, and proclaiming the Gospel, fulfilling their role in the body of Christ as part of God's redemptive plan.
