KINGDOM OF GOD, The Obedient Family (Part 2)- The Answer
Are there problems? Of course! Personalities clash and racial tensions flare. False teachers and sectarians try to hijack the faith, just as in the first century. Modern problems remain basically the same as the old problems. And the very same solution also continues unchanged. "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever" (Hebrews 13:8). He still saves and transforms sinners. His Spirit still empowers. The revealed mind of Christ still solves every problem that trusting children bring to Him. As "Head over everything for the church," Jesus has the answer to every question. The goal of His family remains exactly the same: to defeat Satan's schemes and bow in everything to one Lord.
"The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ" (2 Corinthians 10:4-5).
All over the world, Satan's strongholds are falling. More and more people are confessing by mouth and by the deeds of repentance, "Jesus is Lord!" Since He is Lord, they gratefully comply with His command: "Get up, be baptized and wash your sins away, calling on [Christ's] name" (Acts 22:16). In this way, people all over the world are coming "into Christ" and "into one body" (1 Corinthians 12:13). They recognize that they are children of the same royal family, the one church of God's eternal purpose. Therefore they "make every effort to keep [that] unity, “and they avoid leaders and labels that divide them. They are just Christians, and they meet as congregations of Christ (not of any man-made 'church').
They are different from the world because God chooses them "to be holy and blameless" (Ephesians 1:4). Though the world does not recognize them, the Spirit does. He seals them as first-born sons and guarantees their glorious inheritance. This is the family where you belong, or ought to belong. For this is the forever-family of God's "eternal purpose." This is the body that brings "fullness" to the Son. This is the church that gives eternal glory to the Father.
"The church...is His body, the fullness of Him who fills everything in every way" (Ephesians 1:22-23).
"To Him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen" (Ephesians 3:21).
The Answer
Ephesians 5:23 shows Jesus to be the Savior of His church. This is like saying that Jesus saves those who stay with Him, not those who stray from Him. Indeed, God promises wrath for those who disobey the Gospel. Staying together as one group is the result of following one Lord. Since Christ is "Head over everything for the church," what right do we have to draw away disciples into different groups? Christ alone has all authority. That means we enter His church on His terms, or not at all. We continue with Him, and in fellowship with His people, as we "walk in the light." The Spirit empowers us for this walk together, fulfilling Jesus' prayer for unity. As His body, we become "the fullness" of Christ, and we bring glory to His Father and ours.

Ephesians 1:20-23 - "[God] seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly realms, far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every title that can be given, not only in the present age but also in the one to come.

5. Ephesians 5:25-27 - "Christ loved the church and gave Himself up for her to make her holy, cleansing her by the washing with water through the word, and to present her to Himself as a radiant church, without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless."
6. 1 John 1:6-7 - "If we claim to have fellowship with Him yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not live by the truth. But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, His Son, purifies us from all sin."
7. 1 John 3:9 - "No one who is born of God will continue to sin, because God's seed remains in him."

9. 2 Corinthians 6:17-18 - "What agreement is there between the temple of God and idols? For we are the temple of the living God... 'Therefore come out from them and be separate,' says the Lord. 'Touch no unclean thing, and I will receive you. I will be a Father to you, and you will be My sons and daughters, says the Lord Almighty.'"
10. 1 Corinthians 10:16-17 - "Is not the cup of thanksgiving for which we give thanks a participation in the blood of Christ? And is not the bread that we break a participation in the body of Christ? Because there is one loaf, we, who are many, are one body, for we all partake of the one loaf."
11. Hebrews 10:24-25 - "Let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds. Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another - and all the more as you see the Day approaching."
12. 2 Corinthians 10:4-5 - "The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ."
13. Ephesians 3:21 - "To Him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.
God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, we acknowledge You as absolutely supreme.
You gave "all authority" to Your Son. May the confession "Jesus is Lord" guide and shape every aspect of our lives-including how we follow Your definition of the church.
To adapt Ephesians 3, "To You be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations for ever and ever. Amen."
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.
