LESSONS LEARNED:
We're all members of the same body, the church of God, which Christ is the head.
In 2 Corinthians 1:1, we understand that Paul and Timothy were members of the church of God at Corinth.
The early Christians were all baptized into the same body, the body of Christ.
So both Jews and gentiles are fellow heirs, members of the same body.
So the appropriate name for the body of Christ is the church of God, not ministry or assembly.
According to Bro Eli, some pastors say that the church is no longer necessary, that you don't need the church to be saved, that to be saved, one needs to accept the lord Jesus Christ.
The Church of God was built for us to join.
The church is to make know the manifold wisdom of God, according to the eternal purpose which he purposeth in Christ Jesus our lord, as recorded in Ephesians 3:10-11.
Many said that church era is gone, but this is not true. It's false.
Christ said, upon this rock I'll build my church. If the church wasn't necessary, then there'll be no need for building.
we see how many are asked to raise hands if they accept the gospel.
To accept the gospel is not by raising of hands, but by studying and obeying the doctrines of Christ.
To accept the gospel is not by raising of hands, but by studying the doctrines of Christ and obeying them.
Our way of life should reflect the gospel of Christ. Our dressing, speech, and association should obey the doctrines of Christ Jesus.
Bro Eli also mentioned that another doctrine of Christ is singing.
As we sing to the country, to our loved ones, we should sing the more to our God, with grace in our hearts.
When we sing praises to God, we glorify him.
FORMER BELIEF:
I had no contrary belief regarding this topic.
HOW THE TEACHING AFFECTS ME:
Through the teaching, I'll bolding declare that the gospel of Christ is to be studied and obeyed.
Thanks be to God.
We are inviting you to join the MCGI Cares (Hive) community that study the words of God and also earn some reward by making our reactions on it. We can check this link https://peakd.com/c/hive-182074/trending
Due to some circumstances, the publishing rules of our Hive community have to change. The changes are as follows;
✅ Do not include any verse in the post, if we want we can add some screenshots of the verse inside our post.
✅
Minimum of 400 words in a single post.✅ Pls include a personal video
✅ It is good if we can answer these 3 simple questions when making our Hive post.
What are the important points we have learned from God's words discussed in the Zoom meeting?
What are our old beliefs or expectations that were improved by listening in the Zoom meeting?
How does the study affect us that can make us a better person that we can use in our daily lives?
We suggest adding more of our personal reflection on the topic discussed, I can give an example here,
Matthew 28:20 - we have learned that we are to obey the commandment of the Lord and preach the gospel in all nations until the end comes but who are the main people who will preach, it is in the church of God as it is written
1 Peter 2:9 - God's people have the obligation to preach the gospel that is found in the one body. In this way we can always add our personal reflection and understanding, we can avoid mass quoting the whole verses.
We have to apply this to avoid any conflict from other communities. I hope we understand, God help us.
