“For ye, brethren, became followers of the churches of God which in Judæa are in Christ Jesus:” 1st Thessalonians 2:14a

To be a true follower of the Lord Jesus Christ, you must be a follower of His church.

The concept of discipleship outside of church membership is foreign to Scripture. Time and again we see the activity of the Lord’s people revolving around the fellowship of believers gathered together out of the world in a local assembly.

God designed the church to be the primary place where the truth of His righteousness is taught and cultivated in the behavior of His children. The church of Jesus Christ is the pillar and ground of the truth. Therefore, it is the best place to find the truth!

The church is also the place where we learn to love, fellowship, forgive, be forgiven, and how to act like Jesus. Active church membership is so much more than being part of a club. It breathes life into the hungry soul of the child of God, and helps him renew his walk in the Lord’s ways.
