THE KIND OF CHURCH CHRIST BUILD ON THE
PLANET EARTH.
( Mathew 16:18 )
18 And I say also unto thee, That
thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of
hell shall not prevail against it.
1. SAVED CHURCH.
( II Timothy 1:9 ) Who hath saved us, and called us
with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own
purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began,
a. Saved Church because are group people both by the precious blood of
the Lord Jesus Christ.
( Acts 20:28 ) Take heed therefore unto
yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you
overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own
blood.
a. Every individual Christian testify that we are bought by the precious
blood of the Lord Jesus Christ.
(1Peter 1:18-19 ) 18 Forasmuch as ye know that ye
were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain
conversation received by tradition from your fathers;
19 But with the precious blood of
Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot:
a. The can sing loudly to the World " I am redeemed by the precious
blood of Christ or Ako'y ligtas sa dugo ni Jesus "
2. SANCTIFIED CHURCH.
( I Corinthians 1:2
) Unto the
church of God which is at Corinth, to them that are sanctified in Christ Jesus,
called to be saints, with all that in every place call upon the name of Jesus
Christ our Lord, both theirs and ours:
a. The Church are SANCTIFIED in Christ Jesus. The Church are SPIRITUAL
people of God.
( I Peter 1:15-16 ) 15 But as he which hath called you
is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation;
16 Because it is written, Be ye
holy; for I am holy.
b. The Church are SEPARATED people of God to World. We seriously
commanded not to equally yoke with the unbelievers.
( 2 Corinthians 6
:14 ) Be ye not
unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath
righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?
c. Christ said that Christians are not of the World as Christ also is
not of the World.
( John 17:16-17 ) 16 They are not of the world, even
as I am not of the world.
17 Sanctify them through thy
truth: thy word is truth.
3. SUPPORTIVE CHURCH.
(II Corinthians
8:1-9) Moreover,
brethren, we do you to wit of the grace of God bestowed on the churches of
Macedonia;
2 How that in a great trial of
affliction the abundance of their joy and their deep poverty abounded unto the
riches of their liberality.
3 For to their power, I bear
record, yea, and beyond their power they were willing of themselves;
4 Praying us with much intreaty
that we would receive the gift, and take upon us the fellowship of the
ministering to the saints.
5 And this they did, not as we
hoped, but first gave their own selves to the Lord, and unto us by the will of
God.
6 Insomuch that we desired Titus,
that as he had begun, so he would also finish in you the same grace also.
7 Therefore, as ye abound in every
thing, in faith, and utterance, and knowledge, and in all diligence, and in
your love to us, see that ye abound in this grace also.
8 I speak not by commandment, but
by occasion of the forwardness of others, and to prove the sincerity of your
love.
9 For ye know the grace of our
Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor,
that ye through his poverty might be rich.
( Acts 20:35 ) I have shewed you all things, how
that so labouring ye ought to support the weak, and to remember the words of
the Lord Jesus, how he said, It is more blessed to give than to receive.
a. The Macedonian Church are obedient to give their tithes and offering
to support the work of the Lord.
( Malachi 3:10-12 ) 10 Bring ye all the tithes into
the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now
herewith, saith the LORD of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of
heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to
receive it.
b. Philippian Church support Missions faithfully.
( Philippians
4:15-16 ) Now ye
Philippians know also, that in the beginning of the gospel, when I departed
from Macedonia, no church communicated with me as concerning giving and
receiving, but ye only.
Php 4:16 For even in Thessalonica ye sent once and again unto my necessity.
4. SPIRITUAL CHURCH
( Colossians 1:10 ) That ye might walk worthy of the
Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in
the knowledge of God;
( I Peter 1:15-16 ) 15 But as he which hath called you
is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation;
16 Because it is written, Be ye
holy; for I am holy.
5. SOULWINNING CHURCH.
( Acts 6: 4-7 ) 5 And the saying pleased the whole
multitude: and they chose Stephen, a man full of faith and of the Holy Ghost,
and Philip, and Prochorus, and Nicanor, and Timon, and Parmenas, and Nicolas a
proselyte of Antioch:
6 Whom they set before the
apostles: and when they had prayed, they laid their hands on them.
7 And the word of God increased;
and the number of the disciples multiplied in Jerusalem greatly; and a great
company of the priests were obedient to the faith.
( Acts 2:41 ) Then they that gladly received his
word were baptized: and the same day there were added unto them about three
thousand souls.
* God bless you all
