The disciples of Jesus were associated with HIM, they were followers of Christ and He commanded them to go and make disciples, not of themselves, not little groups and churches, but disciples of Jesus. If we belong to a group or a church or a club then we take on the values of that organization, we are associated with that organization, with that group of people and when they mess up we are tainted with the same brush.
Our association and our fellowship is with Jesus, not with people, with Jesus Christ and if we meet or come across others who associate with Jesus then we have the same association – THAT IS THE TRUE CHURCH, THE BODY OF CHRIST, NOT A “CHURCH” OR AN ORGANIZATION! It is those people who truly love Jesus, who know Him, who follow Him. They have no other association. Their association is JESUS CHRIST and they want to please Him. Its a lonely road because people will reject you IF YOU DO WHAT JESUS COMMANDED US TO DO. That is the only way that you will get into heaven, dear friend!
If you become part of a group you take on their values and you go where they are going! THERE ARE NO GROUPS GOING TO HEAVEN, NOT “CHURCHES,” ONLY INDIVIDUALS WHO FOLLOW JESUS CHRIST! What is your association? Are you part of a “church,” an organization or do you follow Jesus? Is Jesus Christ your reality, or do you have other associations? You either belong to a “church” or a group or a club or you belong to Jesus.
I belong to Jesus! He is my Lord, He is my Master, He is my King! I don't care going alone as long as I go with Jesus. Who do you follow? Who do you associate with, with Jesus, or with people?
May Jesus bless you.
