1 Timothy 3:15 – “but if I am delayed, I write so that you may know how you ought to conduct yourself in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and [a]ground of the truth.”
All of us who are trusting in Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior are members of the true church of Christ. We are members of His body. We have experienced the forgiveness of our sins, according to the riches of His grace. “We are accepted in the Beloved,” and we are “redeemed through His blood.”
The New Testament refers to the “church” in two ways. The main emphasis is on the church as a living organism, a vital living union of all true believers in Jesus Christ. The second category is the local church, which is composed of professing Christians in any local assembly. If you are looking for a perfect church, you will not find one on this earth.
If you did find one, they would not let you become a member because you are not perfect. However, do find a local group of believers in the area where you live who are saved by grace through faith, and who teach the accurate precise knowledge of the Christ In doctrine and practice. Become a member of the local church regardless of distance so you are taught and trained to be like Christ.
It’s a brand new day! Keep enjoying Kharis!
