WHY SHOULD YOU ATTEND CHURCH?

 

Thank you for allowing me to answer that question.

 

CHURCH ATTENDANCE WAS PRACTICED BY THE APOSTLES AND EARLY CHRISTIANS - If we have the same kind of Christianity that the New Testament Saints had, then we will go to Church. One cannot read the book of Acts and the Epistles without seeing how important the Church was to the early Christians. Hebrews 10:25  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.

 

CHURCH ATTENDANCE SHOWS WHOSE SIDE WE ARE ON - There is a very real war being fought today between right and wrong. Everyone must take a side in this battle, either for or against Jesus Christ. Church attendance is one of the ways that we can show where our allegiance is. This what the Bible says about the church and the one who started it…  I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.Matthew 16:18.  Think about that, the very builder of the church was sinless, the only man who ever lived that NEVER sinned! Hebrews 4:15  For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.

 

CHURCH ATTENDANCE PROVIDES US WITH THE SPIRITUAL FOOD WE NEED TO GROW PROPERLY - Just as the physical body needs food, so does our spiritual body. One of the places where we get our spiritual food is at the House of God. Paul told the elders of the Church at Ephesus to …”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.”

 

REMEMBER: Your profession of faith benefits no one unless you demonstrate your love for Christ and His Word in the way that you live. Make Church attendance a regular part of your life.  Matthew 5:15 Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house.

 

If you have trusted Christ, decided to follow him as a believer in baptism or have made a decision to be faithful in church, please email us at Gospel Light Baptist Church we would like to help you to grow spiritually, there is no obligation. Please let us know what your needs are and tell us about your salvation experience.

 

Whether play, work, or relaxing we usually let folks know who, what, where, when, and why we are! When a Policeman is on duty we recognize him by what he has on. Most people have an address, e-mail, web address, cell phone number, driver’s license, a multitude of identifications we use in society for a specific purpose. Then why cannot one identify with what he or she believes by the act of Baptism? It is by this that we are obedient in what Jesus Christ himself taught by being baptized.
