1 | Should "lost" people come to church? | Luke 5:31 | humility | 218653 | ||
Dear fallen4shell, I liken the Kingdom of God unto an Hospital. We, as believers, are God's doctors and nurses. Responsible for the nourishment of the sin-sicked souls around us. Whether they be family members, friends or whoever! Sometimes by a doctor or nurse rubbing shoulder and fellowshipping with a patient, it opens that patients heart and mind toward the things pertaning to good health. They may learn that six to eight glasses of water might be better than eight glasses of soda a day. A patient who recognizes that he's sick and in need of a Physician could easily be nursed into perfect health. Even patients who don't really understand the seriousness of their condition, by having good doctors and nurses as friends is like a man finding treasure hidden in a field. (1 Cor 9:19-27) |

Hmmm... One should remember that the church "consists of the whole number of the elect (Hebrews 12:23) that have been, are, or shall be gathered into one, under Christ, the head thereof (Colossians 1:18); and is the spouse, the body, the fulness of Him that filleth all in all (Ephesians 1:10, 22-23; 5:23, 27, 32)." Lost people are not "sin-sicked souls" (sic) but are dead (Colossians 2:13a), the object of God's wrath (Ephesians 2:3; Colossians 3:6) and are not of God (1 John 2:16). If we cannot Scripturally answer the question "What is the church?" then we will certainly arrive at the wrong conclusions regarding its place, purpose, and part. |
