Church Commitment (Part2)
Dr RJ Sing
“Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.”
God uses many means to teach us commitment. There are three main concepts God links with the church to help us understand how we fit in with one another. The Church is a Temple composed of living stones that are built, or fitly framed together. (Ephesians 2:19-22; 1 Peter 2:5) As stones in a building, we are to stand alongside some stones, come under the authority of other stones and provide covering & protection for others.
If any stone is out of place, the walls of the temple will be incomplete and vulnerable. The Church is a Body composed of individual members that are interlocked and vitally linked to each other (Ephesians 4:16; 1 Corinthians 12:20, 27) “1 Cor 12:20 But now there are many members, but one body.” “27 Now you are Christ's body, and individually members of it.” As members of the Body we must be in our place and functioning in harmony and peace with other members of the body if the body is to fulfill its purpose and perform effectively. The Church is a Family made up of many brothers and sisters
