The doctrine of the function of joints and ligaments

Colossians 2:19

 

            There are three principles involved: a) Joints and ligaments connect the members of a body, providing symmetry. What links us all together in one body? Doctrine. The joints link the various members of the body together, and it is Bible doctrine which is the joint and ligament that pulls together all kinds of personality, all kinds of nationalities, all kinds of talent, all stages of perceptive ability. b) Not only do the joints and ligaments connect the members of the body but they build muscle and strength. Muscle and strength are built by using the joints of the body. The repetition of exercise builds muscle and strength just as the daily function of GAP builds spiritual strength. So then, joints and ligaments are related to Bible doctrine. The daily intake if Bible doctrine builds spiritual strength. c) They provide body coordination and action. Without joints and ligaments there would be no body action. There is a similar passage in Ephesians 4:16.
