Christ our High Priest has made one sacrifice for sin for all time (Hebrews 10:12), and there is no more sacrifice for sin that can be made (Hebrews 10:26). But as priests once offered other kinds of sacrifices in the temple, so it is clear from 1 Peter 2:5,9 that God has chosen Christians "to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ." 1 Peter 2:5-9 speaks of two aspects of the priesthood of the believer. One ask what does that actually look like in the early body.
The first is believers are privileged, thus all are able to participate in ministry which is every day all day and with everyone one not just the few hired people. The idea is always community the gatherings were in a community life style not shop store models. It was totally undivided, quenching the spirit in form was not likely till later as men sought power exchanged that which is revelatory for the natural wisdom.
Christ centeredness was mostly found in the people with little to gain from any corrupt worldly system. All through history to this day nothing has changed, the ratio is always the few, but the few whom understand the actual sense of the priesthood of the believer in a relationally driven life in christo centric effort abide and endure all the way through..
Fellowship is with Christ first and for most , the question of faith is found out side of a easy life, where taking steps into world where the spoon is no more, and baby food is removed, and you have take the steps of life as God led. It breaks the life long spiritual infancy into direction and understanding
.
We feel the body is to follow the original model set forth in actual scriptures the way it was simple, not a career path or a place one can experience the living Christ verses that of a mere historical one 1 Corinth 1,2,3 Kj3, Young's literal.,we're the temple now, where ever we meet and how ever God is not interested in huts or glass, nothing we build with hay, gold or wood can contain him, we;re temple ever wonder what Jesus was talking about when he said we shall do greater works? something is missing,??,,
This relationship not superficial, ever. thanks....... lOVE TO ALL.
