Names of God

“And God placed all things under his feet and appointed him to be head over everything for the church,” (Eph. 1:22 NIV)

God has many names and titles in the Bible. Each one tells us something important about Him—His character and how He relates to us. And how we must relate to Him. Here is another one of His many Names, which is Head of Church.

Head of Church – Jesus

“…Christ is the head of the church, his body, and is himself its Savior.” (Eph. 5:23 ESV)

“And he is the head of the body, the church. He is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in everything he might be preeminent.” (Col. 1:18 ESV)

Christ is the head of the church because he purchased it

“For you know that it was not with perishable things such as silver or gold that you were redeemed from the empty way of life handed down to you from your ancestors,  but with the precious blood of Christ, a lamb without blemish or defect.” (1 Peter 1:18-19)

Therefore

“Now you are the body of Christ and individually members of it.” (1 Cor. 12:27 ESV)

“Pay careful attention to yourselves and to all the flock, in which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers, to care for the church of God, which he obtained with his own blood.” (Acts 20:28 ESV)
