The term "belong" and its derivatives are used to express ownership, relationship, and identity within the biblical narrative. Divine Ownership and Covenant In the Old Testament, the idea of belonging is often tied to God's covenant with Israel. God declares His people as His own possession. In <a href="/exodus/19-5.htm">Exodus 19:5</a> , God says, "Now if you will indeed obey My voice and keep My covenant, you will be My treasured possession out of all the nations—for the whole earth is Mine." This verse highlights the special relationship between God and Israel, emphasizing that they belong to Him as His chosen people. The theme of belonging is further illustrated in <a href="/deuteronomy/7-6.htm">Deuteronomy 7:6</a> : "For you are a people holy to the LORD your God. The LORD your God has chosen you to be a people for His prized possession, above all peoples on the face of the earth." Here, belonging is associated with holiness and divine selection, underscoring the unique identity of Israel as God's people. Belonging to Christ In the New Testament, the concept of belonging is expanded to include all who are in Christ. Believers are described as belonging to Jesus through faith and the work of the Holy Spirit. In <a href="/romans/1-6.htm">Romans 1:6</a> , Paul writes, "And you also are among those who are called to belong to Jesus Christ." This calling signifies a personal and communal identity rooted in Christ. The Apostle Paul further elaborates on this in <a href="/1_corinthians/3-23.htm">1 Corinthians 3:23</a> : "and you belong to Christ, and Christ belongs to God." This verse highlights the interconnectedness of believers with Christ and, by extension, with God the Father. Belonging to Christ implies a transformation of identity and allegiance, as believers are no longer their own but are part of the body of Christ. Community and Fellowship Belonging also encompasses the communal aspect of the Christian faith. The early church is depicted as a community where believers belong to one another in love and service. <a href="/acts/2-44.htm">Acts 2:44</a> states, "All the believers were together and had everything in common." This sense of belonging is characterized by unity, shared resources, and mutual support. The Apostle Paul emphasizes the importance of belonging to the body of Christ in <a href="/romans/12-5.htm">Romans 12:5</a> : "so in Christ we who are many are one body, and each member belongs to one another." This metaphor of the body illustrates the interdependence of believers and the necessity of each member's contribution to the health and function of the whole. Inheritance and Eternal Belonging Belonging in the biblical sense also carries an eschatological dimension, pointing to the eternal inheritance of believers. In <a href="/ephesians/1-13.htm">Ephesians 1:13-14</a> , Paul speaks of the Holy Spirit as a seal of belonging and a guarantee of the believer's inheritance: "And in Him, having heard and believed the word of truth—the gospel of your salvation—you were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit, who is the pledge of our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God’s possession, to the praise of His glory." This eternal perspective assures believers of their ultimate belonging to God, not only in this life but also in the life to come. The promise of eternal life and the inheritance of the kingdom of God are central to the believer's identity and hope. In summary, the biblical concept of belonging encompasses divine ownership, covenantal relationship, communal identity, and eternal inheritance. It is a multifaceted theme that underscores the believer's relationship with God, Christ, and the community of faith.<a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>1.
