Good day and happy Sunday to everyone. Trust we are doing good. Am Brother Ajah Kelvin and am doing this post to share my benefits from the Day 2 mass indoctrination. This post is done on the 17/7/2022. When we put God first, everything other thing in life would be taken care of.
From the teaching,we learnt that there is only one church of God and we are only called out to be part of that church. We are not the church; the Church was established about 2000 years by Christ purchased with His blood. In Galatians 1:14-15, we saw that Paul was called out of Judaism to be part of the church. The Greek word for called out is el-klay-see-ah. We didn't call ourselves to the church but God is the one that called us into church. 2 Corinthians 1:1, John 11:52
Ephesians 4:4, further stressed more on it that we are gathered as one body. The body is the church of God and Christ is the head of that body. The bible remains the pillar and ground of all truth. The church is meant to be a place of orderliness and we are expected to be of good conduct in the house of God. 1 Timothy 3:15. A good name is better than great riches. Anything not in the Bible shouldn't be followed.
The church is very precious to Christ and henced He purchased with His blood. Acts 20:28. We are not the church because the church had long existed long ago. we are to join the church according to Romance 12:9.
If we are to follow God, then we have to cleave to that which is good. Luke 18:19. It's the commandment of God to join the church and if we reject the words of Christ, then we are equally rejecting Christ.
We are Gentiles and once we accept the words of Christ,we become fellow heirs and can be entitled to the kingdom benefits. At this point, we are members of the church. The church is the institute for salvation of men. Joining the church is by accepting the gospel and not just raising up of hands. Acts 10:34-35. It's God that accepts us into the church. In the true church,we are to pray to God alone and not to any man.
I hope we learnt something from it.
- We are not the church, we are members of the church. The church was established about 2000 years ago
- God is the one that accepts us into the church when we accept His word
- The church is ground and pillar of all ground.
- A good name is better than great treasure
God bless us all
