What Is the Church ? Why Go To Church ?
The Church is not the building and neither is it an organisation..the Church that Jesus refers to is every believer. In Mt 16:19 - Jesus said, I will build the church and the gates of hell will not prevail against the Church. In Greek, the Church is Ekklesia...Jesus is responsible to call out a people who do not know God, to follow Him and in and and through us build His kingdom !In Genesis 12, God called Abram out of Haran and out of Terah...Its the same call today...God wants us to get out of a life where God is not there. Get out of a life where you walk in rebellion and unbelieve - SIN. Get out of a future that is gloomy..and walk with God to a greater life !
We must allow God to work in us...only when the church worship Him and lives for Him..to be faithful worshipper and passionate witness of the kingdom ..a simple question..how many people choose to go to Church on God's Sabbath these days (Is 58). Jesus was angry with the people that defiled the church, defiled their lives..(Mt 21)..nobody could get in..the moment Jesus threw out the rubbish nonsense..and He goes back in ...you will read that the people in need started flooding the church....Its so easy to run down other churches and christians..but the only one we can really work on first..is ME...lets allow the fire of the Holy Ghost burn away the dross and sin..so that faith can rise again.
The Church represents the Kingdom of God...It is build by Christ..in His Word, In His Power (Holy Spirit), in His Character...and only then can the Church bring glory to Christ...
The Church is you and me. Lets be faithful with the little that God puts in our hands (time, money, resources)..when we can walk through the fire and flood with our faith in tact...only then the abundance will overflow !
Be the Church and let God build the glorious Church that shines for God. After all, the Church is the place God meets His people..As He meets us as one He also meets us as our bodies are His temple. Jesus is in You !
The Kingdom of God is not coming..it is here. (Mt 10:7)
The Church is God's plan..it takes one that God works through..then it becomes more than 1..then it keeps growing and growing and growing ! ..Don't look down on God's plan..be in God's plan ! If there's something wrong with God's church, lets begin with ME ! ME needs to die first.
