<p>The church is more than a collection of individuals—it's the living body of Christ where every member plays an essential role. Paul's teachings reveal that when we withdraw, become prideful, remain passive, or create conflict, the entire body suffers like a physical ailment. Research confirms that active participation in religious community leads to greater happiness, with 43% of highly involved members reporting being very happy compared to only 22% of non-attenders. God designed us to find joy through both our individual gifts and collective unity, reflecting the diverse yet unified nature of the Trinity itself.</p>
