The Church – Building Block no.4
"Now you are the body of Christ and individually members of it." 1 Cor. 12:27
The church is where believers in Jesus meet to worship together, learn from the Word of God, and pray for, encourage, and care for each other. It’s a community of believers who are committed to loving God, each other and their neighbors. It’s also where those who haven’t yet come to faith can hear the good news of Jesus and see for themselves what it really means to glorify God.
The Bible describes the local church as the temple of the living God, the pillar and foundation of the truth, and as the body of Christ. The key for a disciple is to understand that he or she is a part of that body, and as such, has an important role to play in building it up so that God might be praised. For a disciple, being part of, attending, and supporting the church isn’t an option, but rather a responsibility and privilege.
"And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and do good works, not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near." Heb. 10:24-25
