Which church do you belong to?

Which church do you belong to? That is a very important question. We read in Matthew 16:13. Jesus said to His disciples: “Who do people say that the Son of Man is?” 14And they said, “Some say John the Baptist; and others, Elijah; but still others, Jeremiah, or one of the prophets.” 15He *said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” 16And Simon Peter answered and said, “Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.” 17And Jesus answered and said to him, “Blessed are you, Simon Barjona, because flesh and blood did not reveal this to you, but My Father who is in heaven. 18“ And I also say to you that you are Peter, and upon this rock I WILL BUILD MY CHURCH; and the gates of Hades shall not overpower it.”

Note that Jesus said: “I will build my church,” NOT MEN will build My church. Jesus Himself will build His Body, the Body of Christ. It is those whom He has drawn unto Himself and who follow Him. They are part of His Body, His Church, we are His dwelling in which the Holy Spirit of God dwells. IT IS NOT A HUMAN ORGANIZATION. IT IS THE BODY OF CHRIST IN WHICH HE DWELLS.

We read in Hebrews 3:6 “but Christ was faithful as a Son over HIS HOUSE whose house WE ARE, IF we hold fast our confidence and the boast of our hope firm until the end.” Jesus is building HIS CHURCH, HIS BODY IN WHICH HE DWELLS. But men are also building their churches the FAKE CHURCHES, their organizations, that is NOT the Body of Christ! So we have the true church, the Body of Christ in which the Spirit of God dwells and who follow Jesus every day and we have the FAKE CHURCH, the ORGANIZATIONS THAT ARE RUN BY MEN. Jesus is the Head of His Church, His Body. Every individual member is led by the Holy Spirit. The FAKE CHURCHES ARE RUN BY MEN.

Which church do YOU belong to? Do you belong to Jesus or do you belong to some organization. No man can serve two masters, he will either love the one and despise the other. We are His house, His temple IF we hold on FIRMLY to the hope of our salvation until the end, if we hold on to Jesus and follow Him every day until the end. Which church do you belong to? The churches of men, or are you the dwelling place of Jesus Christ Himself?

May Jesus bless you.
