Where Does Your Church fall?
Is it really the Body of Christ?
Are you one of those busy running from Church to Church looking for the best Pastor?
I think the best question would be are you busy looking for knowledge or life....Because the word of God is life and therefore living ....It is supposed to make an impact in your life such that it brings you closer to God....The bible says knowledge brings death while the spirit which is the word of God brings life.
Just as in john 6:63 says 'The Spirit gives life; the flesh counts for nothing. The words I have spoken to you are spirit and they are life.'
or in 2 Corinthians 3:6 'He has made us competent as ministers of a new covenant--not of the letter but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.
so we are all ministers of the gospel, thats why the veil was removed so that every person can serve Jesus as our high priest..just like in
Romans 7:6 But now, by dying to what once bound us, we have been released from the law so that we serve in the new way of the Spirit, and not in the old way of the written code.
Jesus Himself, is the Word of God.
The bible testifies of Jesus that He is the Word of God (John 1:1), there is no other.
Salvation is not in the bible or any of the scriptures. Jesus warned the scribes and Pharisees: “You search the Scriptures because you think that in them you have eternal life; it is these that testify about Me; and YOU ARE UNWILLING TO COME TO ME SO THAT YOU MAY HAVE LIFE.” John 5:39,40. People know the bible but they do not know the Jesus of the bible, the real Word of God.
