Presentation transcript:

Some say… “I don’t have to go to church to be saved.” “Churches don’t save, Jesus does.” “I can worship God anywhere, I don’t need a church.” “The church building doesn’t save you.” “As long as I believe in God and be a good person, I don’t need a church.” These are misunderstandings, or excuses, or both

Why did Jesus come to build his church if the church is not necessary for salvation (Mt. 16:18)? The church was planned before time (Eph. 3:10) The church was prophesied in the OT (Isa. 2; Dan. 2; Joel 2) The church was purchased with Jesus’ blood (Ac. 20:28; Eph. 5:25,27,29)

Can you follow the head without being a part of the body (Ephesians 1:22-23; 5:23-24,32; Colossians 1:18,24)? “I need Jesus, not a church…” – a head without a body is dead You cannot reap the benefits of the head without being a member of the body; you cannot be saved by the head without the body of Christ (Eph. 5:23) One is added into the body of Christ through baptism (Rom. 6:3-4; Gal. 3:26-27; 1 Cor. 12:12-13)

If we do not need to go to church to be saved, why were we not told this by Jesus or the Apostle Paul? Jesus (Mt. 18:17) and Paul (Rom. 16:16; 1 Cor. 1:2; 4:17; 7:17; 10:32; 11:16,22; 2 Cor. 1:1; 11:28; Eph. 3:21; 5:27; 1 Thess. 2:14; 2 Thess. 1:4; 1 Tim. 3:5,15) both promoted the importance and glory of the church Many people today say they don’t need to go to church, but this idea doesn’t come from Jesus or Paul

The “church” is not a place you go to; the “church” is an assembly of people The “church” is people (Acts 5:11; 8:3 [1 Cor. 15:9; Gal. 1:13; Phil. 3:5]; 9:31; 12:1; etc.) You don’t have to go to a particular building to be saved, but you do have to be a part of a particular saved body of people (Acts 2:38,41,47; 5:14; 11:24; Heb. 12:23) – the “one body” (Rom. 12:4-5; 1 Cor. 10:17; Eph. 2:16; 4:4; Col. 3:15) Yes, Jesus saves, but he saves when we comply with the means of salvation in his body (Eph. 5:23)

The “church” of God’s people in one location must assemble together regularly to worship God The local “church” assembles together (Acts 2:42; 11:26; 14:27; 1 Cor. 14:23) Some required activities of worship can be done only in the local assembly (Acts 20:7; 1 Cor. 11:18,20; 16:1-2); by active “members” of his body (Eph. 4:16; 5:30) The “assembling” must not be forsaken (Heb. 10:24-25)

We do not go to church to be saved We obey the gospel of Jesus Christ, we are baptized into the body (church) of Christ, we live daily as active members of the body (church) of Christ which requires assembling together Are you a active member of the body (church) of Christ? If not, you are not saved (Eph. 5:23)!
