Eph 4:12, 15-16, Rom 12:5, Col 1:18, Col 2:19
Christ is the head of the church. As the church, we must follow Christ and grow through Christ.
Eph 1:22 And hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head over all things to the church, 23 Which is his body, the fulness of him that filleth all in all.
Eph 4:12 For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ: 15 But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ: 16 From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love.
Rom 12:5 So we, being many, are one body in Christ, and every one members one of another.
Col 1:18 And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence.
Col 2:19 And not holding the Head, from which all the body by joints and bands having nourishment ministered, and knit together, increaseth with the increase of God.
