The Lord’s Church Is Precious! 4/26/2015 am The Lord’s Church Is Precious! Part 2 Ephesians 5:23-32 4-26-15 AM Micky Galloway

The Church Is Precious Blood Purchased Reconciliation. Ephesians 2:13-16 Man needs reconciliation. cf. Isaiah 59:1-2 Man must be reconciled to be saved. cf. Romans 5:10 Reconciliation commanded. 2 Corinthians 5:10 As the body is the church (Ephesians 1:22-23) and reconciliation is in the body, then reconciliation is possible ONLY in the church. For those NOT in the church, Christ shed His blood in vain!

The Church Is Precious Blood Purchased Sanctification. Ephesians 5:25-26 Man needs sanctification. Romans 6:19-22 Definition: “To purify by expiation, free from the guilt of sin” 1 Corinthians 6:11 (Thayer) Sanctified by “washing of water with the word.” Ephesians 5:26 Saul of Tarsus. Acts 22:16; 9:18 Baptism into his death. Romans 6:3-4 For those NOT in the church, Christ shed His blood in vain!

The Church Is Precious The Church Is The Body Of The Saved. Acts 2:47 Those who are purchased by blood. Acts 20:28 The Redeemed. 1 Peter 1:18-19 The Justified. Romans 3:20-26 The Reconciled. Ephesians 2:13-16 The Sanctified. Ephesians 5:25-26 For those NOT in the church ,Christ shed His blood in vain!

The Church Is Precious The precious church will be presented a “glorious” church. Ephesians 5:26-27 “Metaphorically, a glorious Church, signifying the Church adorned in pure and splendid raiment as a bride (Eph 5:27)” (The Complete Word Study Dictionary) “Figuratively equivalent to free from sin, (Eph 5:27).” (Thayer) Those NOT in the church, are NOT so honored. Christ shed His blood in vain!

Local Church: Precious We strive together. Philippians 1:27 We rejoice and grieve together. Romans 12:15 We suffer and honor together. 1 Corinthians 12:25-26 We edify and correct one another. Galatians 6:1; 1 Corinthians 5:1 Let us be thankful. Romans 1:8; etc.

Conclusion The Lord’s church is “precious.” Acts 20:28 We must let the church be distinct as the church, so adorned as to glorify the head – even Christ. God gave His Son for it. The Lord of glory died for it. We must not bring its lofty mission down to serve the outward man, but rather we must keep it pure to serve the interest of heaven. For the unfaithful, Christ died in vain.
