KINGDOM OF GOD, The Obedient Family (Part 2)- "Where Should I Attend?"

KINGDOM OF GOD, The Obedient Family (Part 2)- "Where Should I Attend?"


When Ephesians and Corinthians turn to Christ, they turn away from their former temples.


"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" (2 Corinthians 6:17-18).


When Paul receives baptism, he does not return to his old religion. Where do we find him? "With the disciples" (Acts 9:19). Later we read, "When he came to Jerusalem, he tried to join the disciples" (Acts 9:26). Paul has already been washed in baptism and thus added to the saved family. Now we see Paul living that truth by joining his brothers and sisters in the family's worship and work. They share the Lord's Supper on the first day of the week to remember the grace that makes them one united family.


"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" (1 Corinthians 10:16-17).


"Where Should I Attend?"


Do you see the Lord's simple yet striking answer to the dilemma of division today? In every community, those born into the Lord's family come together around one table. By so doing, they all practice the unity they enjoy in Christ's death and resurrection.

"Fellowship" then, for every child that walks in the light, is more than a principle and a privilege. It is also a practice with a purpose.


"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" (Hebrews 10:24-25).

As Paul emphasizes, these meetings "edify" through loving attitudes, lessons, reports, songs, Scripture readings, prayers and the Lord's Supper. When members of God's family meet regularly, they are His "congregation" or "church" in that community. Each congregation should grow to have spiritually qualified shepherds (overseers), servants (deacons), evangelists and teachers, and should help to start other congregations. All such congregations in the world are what Scripture calls "all the churches," "the churches of God," and "the churches of Christ."


All this is the simple answer of God's word. Yet, when put into practice, it can strike sparks of angry reaction in the religious world. That's when someone like the town clerk speaks up, “Doesn’t all the world know that every congregation belongs to some denomination?" Critics agree, and deride God's family as another "sect." They repeat lines spoken to Paul in his Roman prison, "We know that people everywhere are talking against this sect" (Acts 28:22). But the family knows that their real identity is defined by their Father, not by "people everywhere." "All the world" cannot overrule one Lord whose one body refuses to be divided.


To illustrate that simple truth, imagine that a time machine brings Paul from the first century to the twenty-first century. He helps others to become Christians as he did in Acts. They meet together as congregations, like early Christians did. Tell us, to which denomination do these congregations (and Paul) belong? If you recognize that New Testament churches in the first century were not part of any denomination, then you know that such churches in the twenty-first century may also be non-denominational.

Now remove imagination, and think about reality. Instead of bringing Paul to our century, bring his message, the one you read in the New Testament. People today really believe that message. They become Christians in the New Testament way, and form congregations in that way. They believe Paul's letters to Corinth and to Ephesus. Therefore they speak, as Paul does, for unity and against division. They practice that unity with all who "walk in the light" as the New Testament describes. But they refuse to join factions. They recognize no headquarters but heaven. They refuse to place themselves under any head but Christ. Tell us, to which denomination do these congregations belong? If you know the answer, then you know where you should belong.


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.
