Jesus died for his church, the bride of Christ. (Ephesians 5:25-33) Man throughout history has corrupted the church that Christ died for through denominationalism, by adding man-made laws to the scriptures, and by following creeds other than the Holy Bible.

 

It is possible today to be obedient to the will of Christ. Christians can resolve to restore the church to being the church of the New Testament. (Acts 2:41-47)

 

You should know that the Lord Jesus Christ:

 

Loved the church (Ephesians 5:25)

Shed his blood for the church (Acts 20:28)

Established the church (Matthew 16:18)

Added saved people to the church (Acts 2:47)

Is the head of the church (Ephesians 1:22-23; Ephesians 5:23)

Will save the church (Acts 2:47; Ephesians 5:23)

 

You should know that man did not:

 

Purpose the church (Ephesians 3:10-11)

Purchase the church (Acts 20:28; Ephesians 5:25)

Name its members (Isaiah 56:5; Isaiah 62:2; Acts 11:26; 1 Peter 4:16)

Add people to the church (Acts 2:47; 1 Corinthians 12:18)

Give the church its doctrine (Galatians 1:8-11; 2 John 9-11)
