1 | Pictures of the Church | Eph 3:21 | DocTrinsograce | 197968 | ||
"God has given us four pictures of the church, not one. This is not just to emphasize and prove the point by repetition, but also to say four different things about what it means to be a member of a church. To be a stone in His temple means to belong to a worshiping community. To be part of a body means to belong to a living, functioning, serving, witnessing community. To be a sheep in the flock means belonging to a community dependent on Him for food, protection, and direction. To be a member of a family is to belong to a community bound by a common Fatherhood. Put together you have the main functions of an individual Christian. Evidently we are meant to fulfill these not on our own but together in the church. Now can you see the answer to the question why you should join a church?" --G. Eric Lane | ||||||
