Thanks be to God for another successful mass indoctrination service. It was really another awesome time studying the doctrine of Christ. And as usual it blessed me in no small way.
We continued from where we stopped yesterday about the Church. We delved a little much deeper studying the Church. We were able to establish in yesterday's lesson that the church is the body of Christ and it should be regarded as such neither should the name be changed such as "Lutheran Church" "Four Square" smiles. Pls this is not to attack any church. According to Bro Eli,he said the Church should be referred to as the "Church of God"
We as gentiles have become partakers of this promise of salvation and have become part of the body (Church of God) through salvation. The Church is already an established body,nobody creates a new church or body,we only joined the body even as fellow heir by accepting the free gift of salvation purchased with the blood of Christ
Proverbs 22:1 admonishes us to choose a good name over riches and gold and according to the scripture,that good name refers to the name of God and this is also confirmed in the book of Luke 18:18-19 where Jesus answered saying "only God is good".
We also established that God frowns at Idol worship such as the Buddhism or Hinduism all these are what God dislikes and as believers,we are to abstain from all these just as seen in the book of Rom.1:25 which talks about those that leaves the creator to worship the creature. This sound really absurd. How can a man who has the ability to tame an animal worship animal just like some so called religion do.. it's really wrong.
I also learnt that the gospel is not accepted by just raising up our hands at the point of salvation. The word has to be believed too so that people's faith can be an anchored on Christ,the head of the Church.Christ should be talked about and shown to the people.
These and many more are the things we looked into in the course of the indoctrination. A big thanks to God and the entire MCGI team.
