I Just Can't Do This, Without you!!!
WE ARE HANDICAP WITHOUT EACH OTHER!
Shared by Apostle James R Winfree Sr:
To Him be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus to all generations forever and ever. Amen. Ephesians 3:21
Jesus is saving souls. He is not just saving your idol religious buildings. Overwhelmingly, when the Bible instructs, it is to a chosen born again blood washed, Spirit filled, and baptized in Jesus Name people, a group, a community of Believers called Jesus Believers His birth and built Churches. It is impossible to grasp and understand Christ Believers if you don’t understand the interdependent, reciprocal connection GOD saved you to have with other Christ Believers. At one time, you were independent and separate; you had no union, no spiritual connection, to the people of GOD, His Body the Church. You have now been saved from that isolationism and saved to be a part of a people called the loving and living stones, His Church , a people who truly now know Jesus Christ the GOD in Man.
The first phrase of Ephesians 3:21 says, “To Him be glory in the church.” That’s the collection of GOD'S people. Then it says, “to All generations forever and ever.” So this collectivity of people, the church, is going to be GOD'S organized group of His people both for time and eternity. Now, when you think about western civilization, it has an emphasis on what you would call rugged individualism, and there are some virtues in that. There is goodness in a person looking to himself and supplying his own needs and not living off the charities or donations of others. We are losing some of that today in our life time. But, if you aren’t careful, if you don’t wash the rugged individualism of America's culture in the truth of the scripture, there can be a lot of error in it. As a matter of fact, rugged individualism can be very anti-Christian because GOD saved you from being an island. In Christianity, no man is an island. He saved us to belong. We ought to change our vocabulary about church. Church is not where you attend. Church is not where you go. Church is an entity, a body, you “belong” to. This is the biblical understanding. To serve GOD in Christ is to serve His chosen people, Jesus Christ Believers, But all your money , time and energy is going for the support of your leaders and their very own personal kingdoms, So when you and them stand before Christ, your and their works and labors will be in Vain.
GOD saved you from that isolation of not being a part of the people of GOD. He also saved you from other false religions and Preachers . The word “church” in the Bible means “called out ones.” You are called out from other groups or organizations being your primary belonging place. You are called out from those to make the spiritual church your new primary place of belonging and identity in this world. Now, it’s not wrong to be a part of other groups, but they are not the main entity you are connected with. You should not let any other organization, group, or community in any way compete with or diminish your passion and your work for GOD in and through serving your brothers and sisters in the same common faith, His Body the church here on earth.
So, we are saved to be this community of people, and we want to be a loving nations church community who is passionate in our love for one another and for Christ Jesus glory. Amen.
We Are Leading All Souls To Our Lord And Savior Jesus Christ!
Jesus Is The Only Savior, Who Saves!!!
