The proliferation of the
Christian religion (Topics
22C & 22D) have
brought about preachers with different
concept on what the Church
is, but all claiming to be based
on the Bible.
Here are some of the
popular concept of what the
Church is:
There are also those who
also claim that all
believers in the Lord Jesus
Christ are of God,
irrespective of the Church
to which a person belong,
negating the role of the
True Church founded by the
Lord Jesus Christ for the
salvation of men.
Confused?
The problem now becomes one of identifying the True Church amidst the numerous
claimants.
If one is really
interested in the welfare of his soul, this is the one issue he cannot
afford to ignore. It is one issue that every one must face and deal with.
It is not safe for anyone to
be just complacent about his
religion. A man should make
a truthful and sincere
effort to inquire into the
certainty or genuineness of
his religion or to find out
if it is the
true one. It is imperative
that before death makes its
call or before Judgment Day
comes, a man must be found
in the True Religion or the True
Church. For what use is a
religion or a church that
can not help a man to have a
place in the Kingdom of God
in heaven.
But before engaging in the search for the
True Religion or the True Church, it is but wise
that the inquirer must know exactly what he is looking for.
What is the True Church
as defined and described by the Bible?
Has this any bearing to one's salvation?
Let us study the
Holy Scriptures so we may be able to easily
identify the
True Religion or the True
Church.
