Romans 12:5
Romans 12:5
So we, being many, are one body in Christ, and every one members one of another.
Why do organizations have different units and departments? Why is there an organogram that stipulates functionality? Why do big firms make use of concepts like division of labor and specialization? Why can't everyone perform the same function? Any system that will thrive and be successful must recognize and respect the differences in the abilities of her workers. To ensure efficient running and increased productivity in an organization, it cannot be handled by one man even if it is owned by an individual. Irrespective of how creative and innovative one is, You can not know or do it all. This stresses the fact that we need one another. Our differences make us unique and foster unity however uniformity in function can give room for boredom and decreased productivity. God created us to be uniquely different in abilities and gifts so that we can be interdependent on one another. If we want to achieve more for God within a short time, then we must accept one another instead of engaging in unhealthy competition and rivalry. We should understand that the joint use of our gifts and abilities is directed toward the success of the work of God. If a part of the body is unable to or fails in carrying out its function, the body has failed and cannot be maximally productive. Each of us is important so that the body of Christ can be functional.

For both he that sanctifieth and they who are sanctified are all of one: for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren,
