if I am delayed, you will know how people ought to conduct themselves in God’s household, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and foundation of the truth. 1 Timothy 3:15 (NIV)
The Church is all of us whom Jesus Christ redeemed with His Blood, who believe in Him as our Lord and Savior.God is in the Church; He works and moves foremost and majorly in and through the Church.The Word of God which is the Truth is in the Church because it’s where it’s accepted and believed. It’s the Church that preaches and teaches the Word.The Holy Spirit is in the Church.The purposes and plans of God are revealed in and through the Church and they are carried out by the Church in the earth.The Church is the keeper and preserver of Truth.So we ought to acknowledge and honor the Church both universal (all believers in the world) and local (where we assemble with fellow believers)Be a part of a local believer’s assembly.Take advantage of the many benefits that the household of God the Church provides. Participate in contributing to the building and advancement of Christ’s Body the Church of which you’re a member.
