Finding the right church


Many people are looking for a good church. There is no single good church. There is no single good man or woman who is worthy to be followed. When they said to Jesus:”Good Master,” He said: ”Nobody is good, only God is good.” We are called into relationship with God our Father. That is the only good relationship. Jesus brings us into relationship with the Father IF we obey His words. We must not seek the fellowship of people. We must seek the fellowship of God. Jesus calls us to discipleship, to follow Him and He brings us into relationship with our Father. He makes us children of God IF we LISTEN to His words and we obey them, because the words of Jesus are the words of God. (written in the gospels, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John). He did not speak anything on His own – what He said were the words that God gave Him to give us, and those are the words of life. Our relationship must be with God our Father. Any other relationship is a deviation and a distraction.
Churches do not bring you closer to God. They have their own agenda. They are building their own empires. We must be disciples of Jesus who are following Him and who have come into relationship with God the Father through the Holy Spirit living in us and we must be bringing others into relationship with the Father. That is eternal life, knowing God the Father through Jesus Christ, through obedience to His words, NOT CHURCH! Church has got nothing to do with the Kingdom of Heaven. The real church, the Body of Christ, is those PEOPLE IN WHOM THE SPIRIT OF GOD DWELLS. We are a temple of the Holy Spirit in which God dwells IF we have been brought into fellowship with God through our obedience to Jesus.
Are you following Jesus? Have you come into relationship with God the Father, and are you bringing others into relationship with Him also?
May Jesus bless you.
