GOT CHURCH?

I Timothy 3: 15

But if I tarry long, that thou may know how thou ought to behave thyself in the House of GOD, which is the Church of the Living GOD, the pillar and ground of truth.

The Church is a living, breathing organism, made up of many parts. It functions under one head and that is JESUS Christ the LORD. The Church has one message; the Gospel of JESUS Christ; manifests one character, the nature of JESUS Christ; and one truth, JESUS Christ is the way, the truth and the life. 

I Timothy 3: 16b says, "GOD was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the nations, believed on in the world, received up into glory." JESUS lived, died, rose again, appeared to many after the resurrection, ascended into heaven and is seated at the Right Hand of GOD in glory. JESUS is coming again to receive the Church as His Bride and call her home to live with Him forever.

The Church is to be the witness of the Love of JESUS in the world, bringing all souls to Christ; to know Him and to make Him known. Therefore, the behavior of the Church must be unblemished. This is the responsibility of each member to behave themselves in a holy and righteous manner. I Timothy 2: 1, 2, 3 says this, "I exhort, therefore, that first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions and giving thanks, be made for all men, for kings, and for all that are in authority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty. For this is good and acceptable in the sight of GOD, our savior." We are the Church of the Living GOD, our behavior should show Him and His unconditional love to a broken and hurting world.

RISE UP, O CHURCH OF THE LIVING GOD AND STAND AS THE PILLAR AND GROUND OF TRUTH.
