KINGDOM OF GOD,The Obedient Family(Part 1)- "If You Do Not Repent"
Can an entire congregation like Ephesus be removed? Yes, and for this very reason Jesus writes through John to Ephesus:"Yet I hold this against you: You have forsaken your first love. Remember the height from which you have fallen! Repent and do the things you did at first. If you do not repent, I will come to you and remove your lampstand from its place" (Revelation 2:4-5).
Jesus also warns the church in Laodicea, "I am about to spit you out of My mouth" (Revelation 3:16). They call themselves "rich," when they are "poor, blind and naked." 1 What will happen if Jesus must eventually cut them off? They may further delude themselves. They may call themselves a 'church' when Christ no longer recognizes them as His church at all. If they fail to repent, they become just one more human group that cannot save itself.
"If You Do Not Repent"
Now look at the situation faced by early Christians. Different groups claim Christ. If Satan's scheme works, there are unrepentant congregations. There are already false apostles, false brothers, followers of a Balaam and of a Jezebel. Already there are distinct groups: "Nicolaitans," "the Circumcision Party," and the roots of "Gnosticism" ("falsely called knowledge"). Where, in all this confusion, is the body of Christ? How can Christians recognize the true church? Whether in first century confusion, or in twenty-first century confusion, the true answer remains the same; and it is strikingly simple:"Christ is the Head of the church, His body... the church submits to Christ" (Ephesians5:23-24).
Christ builds His own church with those who submit to Him. Those who stay connected to the Head form the true body.
Why is there so much conflict and division among people who call themselves Christians?
The answer has to do with the havoc wreaked by Satan, the enemy of God. His lies unite the world in belief that the church cannot be united.
But for believers who still trust God's word, there remains "one body" with "one baptism" and "one faith." The examples of the New Testament prove that this unity can be real and practical on earth.
The New Testament is honest about the church's serious problems, and we will have problems too. Scriptures even predict that many will fall away from the faith.
But for true believers, God always provides the way forward. The New Testament defines Christ's church, especially by her faithful obedience to Christ. This sets her apart from human groups that go their own way. "Christ is the Head of the church, His body... the church submits to Christ."
Memory Verses
Ephesians 6:11-12 - "Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.
"Ephesians 4:4-6 - "There is one body and one Spirit - just as you were called to one hope when you were called - one Lord, one faith, one baptism; one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all.
"Matthew 28:18-19 - "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to Me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.
"Colossians 2:8 - "See to it that no one takes you captive through hollow and deceptive philosophy, which depends on human tradition and the basic principles of this world rather than on Christ.
"2 Timothy 4:3-4 - "The time will come when men will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear. They will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths.
"Ephesians 5:22-24 - "Wives, submit to your husbands as to the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the Head of the church, His body, of which He is the Savior. Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit to their husbands in everything.
"Matthew 12:49-50 - "Pointing to His disciples, Jesus said, 'Here are My mother and My brothers. For whoever does the will of My Father in heaven is My brother and sister and mother.
'"Colossians 2:6 - "Just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live in Him.
"John 15:10 - "If you obey My commands, you will remain in My love.
"Acts 3:22-23 - "You must listen to everything Christ tells you. Anyone who does not listen to Him will be completely cut off from among His people.
"1 John 4:6 - "We are from God, and whoever knows God listens to us; but whoever is not from God does not listen to us. This is how we recognize the Spirit of truth and the spirit of falsehood.
"Revelation 2:4-5 - "Yet I hold this against you: You have forsaken your first love. Remember the height from which you have fallen! Repent and do the things you did at first. If you do not repent, I will come to you and remove your lampstand from its place."
Lord, we are deeply saddened by the divisions within Christendom and even within local congregations. We confess to You our tendency toward sectarian attitudes and conflict. We ask You to defend us against Satan's lies. Keep us true to You, the "one Lord," and thus to the "one body... one hope... one faith... (and) one baptism"...
Dear Members or Friends, True Disciples or Leaders and Rulers
Lord Jesus' first disciples included His apostles. But they were not the last disciples, for He trained them to train others.
"Make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you" (Matthew 28:19-20).
Jesus our King did not say, "Make believers." A person may have some sort of belief, but never become a disciple. Our King Jesus does not say, "Make worshipers." People may give prayers and offerings without being disciples. All disciples believe and worship, but not all 'believers' and 'worshipers' are disciples. Our savior and King Jesus commands, "Make disciples." That term, as commonly used at that time, means, "Train learners who are committed to following their Teacher's instruction and example." Lord and our healer Jesus reinforces the meaning of continuing learning by saying, "...teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you" (Matthew 28:20). Some refer to Matthew 28:20 as the second half of the Great Commission. It may be more difficult to fulfill, but it is essential for spiritual health as you "grow up in your salvation." Hearing and obeying Christ our Lord and Savior, these are like air to the disciple. To stop breathing that air is to cease being a disciple.
