Bitch Turns Back To Christ

Understanding the church

Why do you go to church? Kasi nakasanayan mo na? Kasi parang tradisyon na? Belonging to a church family is one of the most important decisions a Christian could ever make. Why? Because it is a significantstep toward Spiritual growth and becoming a fully devoted follower of Jesus Christ.

Ephesians 2:19
Consequently, you are no longer foreigners and aliens, but fellow citizens with God's people and member of God's household.

What is a church? What is its purpose? How important is the church to my life as a Christian? How should I decide which church to attend?

#The Church is the household of God

- The foundation of the household is none other Jesus Christ himself.

Eph 2:20

Having been built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the corner stone.

-When Jesus joins us together we become a holy temple in the Lord.

Eph 2:21

In Him the whole building is joined together and rises to become a holy temple in the Lord.

- God works among the members of the church so that he would live and work and manifest Himself in it through the spirit.

eph 2:21

And in Him you too are being together to become a dweling in which God lives by his Spirit.

A building cannot stand without a cornerstone or foundation stone. As a household of God, the church's chief cornerstone is Jesus Christ. God brings a believer to spiritual growth in and through the church. Every church must have the right foundation--Christ and his word.

#The church is the body of Christ

-When we recieved Christ in our lives, we were all baptized by one spirit into one body.

-Christ is the head of the church.

just as a hand or the eye cannot survive apart from the body, so it is NOT GOD'S PLAN for a Christian to try to live life apart from a church. Church should not be something we just attend. It is a living fellowship in which we must take active part. Each Christian must find a group believers to whom he is COMMITED. With whom he will COOPERATE and for whom he will CARE.

We must choose a church that:

1. Honors God as its foundation and head and worship Him alone.

2. Bible based

3. Promotes loving relationships among members

4. Continually desires to grow not just in number but in maturity.

Every church must have a close personal relationship with Jesus. And Jesus expects every church to be pure and holy and completely devoted to Him alone. Therefore, the church must continually get ready in righteousness and faithfullness for that day when Jesus finally returns.

Pumili ka ng church na kung saan maga grow ka spiritually. Hindi yung nakasanayan mo lang. If you think na yang church na yan ay makakatulong sayo, then stay.
