You cannot be a christian without the church I've heard some say, 'I'm a christian but I don't believe in the church'.This is simply sheer ignorant.You cannot be a christian without the church.The moment you became a christian(accepted Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Savior),that same moment you were automatically grafted into the church(body of christ) This is not optional,it's not based on your view or how you feel. There is no excuse for what is going on in the church today but we must always remind ourselves that the church is not made up of Angels but human beings who are still maturing.So,If you are looking for a perfect church you may not find one until Christ returns.Despite the imperfection in the church,christians should not forsake the gathering of the brethren - the assembly of believers. A christian may have personal reasons for not going to church but for a christian to say I don't believe in the church is like saying,I'm a member of the body of Christ but I've nothing to do with the body of Christ.Every christian/believer is a member of the body of Christ,of which, Christ is the head We don't go to church as a regular routine or to please anybody but for our spiritual food,growth,and maturity.If you've stopped going to church for some personal reasons or cause the pastor/Rev or someone in the church ofended you,whatever the reason maybe, please do not forsake the assembly of the brethren(the church). You were made alive in christ for the church,endeavour to go to church,even if it means changing local church.It's good for your spiritual health and growth-its very good to study the scripture alone but its also very important to fellowship with the brethren |
