Bible Question:
I would appreciate some feedback to this question. And, I am asking you NOT to identify your denomination. How important is your specific church in your personal relationship with Jesus? Scale: 1 preferred, but not really 'needed' 10 extremely important - must have Comments are optional, but I would appreciate as many responses as people are willing to share. Thank you |
Bible Answer: My answer is 10. God justifies us as individuals, but sets us apart into a body of believers. No such thing as the "Lone Ranger" Christian. The visible church is the commanded communion of saints on earth, and sanctification normally does not occur apart from that context. "For just as we have many members in one body and all the members do not have the same function, so we, who are many, are one body in Christ, and individually members one of another." --Romans 12:4-5 --Joe! |
