WHY YOU MUST GO TO CHURCH! * ... As Christians its importa6t 4 u 2 identify with a local assembly, a church u can call ur HOME and participate fully in d activities. Otherwise, ull deprive urself of alot of Gods blessings and ull be walkin out of line with His word. Herere some of the reasons u must go to church: * God Said So The scripture is unambiguous in letting us know that God desires His children to attend church meeting. In Heb 10.25, the admonition is clear not to fosake the assembly (meetings) of the brethren, and even goes on to indicate that some were erroneously doin so. * Jesus Did, Showin Us A Partern To Follow* The scripture show that the Lord Jesus had a culture of goin to church. it was part of His personal discipline and devotion- His custom: And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up: and, as his custom was, he went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and stood up for to read luke 4.16. The master took going to church as an important activity, and having been called into fellowship with Him we should follow His example and live as He did. * It is The Vehicle Which You Function In The Body Of Christ* A Christian is not a committed until he demonstrates his commitment in the local assembly forms an integral part of the spiritual body of Christ, which is Gods representative on earth. You cant function in that body until u function in the local assembly. The early church was made up of local assemblies, and several were mentioned in the epistles, for example Romans 16.5 and Revelation 3. * The Church Is The Pillar And Ground Of Truth (1 Timothy 3.15)* God wants His children to know the truth about life, because the truth makes u free from bondage and sets u at liberty. In the church ure taught the truth. IN THE ABSENCE OF THE TRUTH, A MAN WILL BELIEVE A LIE AND BE A VICTIM OF IT. For example the scriptures tell us that Jesus has abolished death, and brought life and immortality to light through the gospel. In the church, these truths are not only taught, but explained. The teaching of Gods Word is crucial for victorious living, and the church is is the primary place for this. * The Church Is A Place Of Fellowship With Other Believers Fellowship with other Christians is crucial to the growth of a believer. In Heb 10.24-25 were admonished to provoke one another to Love, and to good works. We?re also to encourage one another. In proverbs 27.17, the scripture indicate that we sharpen ourselves as we fellowship. The company a man keeps will affect his life and growth (1 cor. 15.33). So keeping and being found in the right company is desirable, and going to church facilitates this. * The Church Is A Place Where Christian Growth And Character Are Enhanced In Ephesians 4.11-16, the scripture clearly state that God ordains certain offices for the benefit of a christian, for growth and to sharpen his spiritual development. These offices are found in the church and men are ordained into them for the local assembly, for the benefit of those in that local assembly. * The Church Is A Place Where You Hear The Word Required For Faith & Life God requires us to live by fahth, for without faith its impossible to please Him (HEB 11.6). The preaching of the word imparts faith and the teaching of Word helps that faith to grow as you understand and put what youve learnt to work. * The Church Is A Place Of Training In 2Timothy 3.16, the Bible lets us know that the Word of God is given to train and instruct you. In the Church, God sets instructors whore able to instruct you in the truth, and help you culture your life. The church is a place where discipline and proper conduct are imparted. These are required for your spiritual growth and effective service for the Lord (1 cor 14.40).
