CHURCH - LIGHT OF THE WORLD

 

To create the Church also was to teach all the surrounding peoples to worship to the true God.

People coming to Israel, had come to worship at the temple ( 1 Kings 8.41-43, Is 56.6-7) and follow the same rituals, laws and Saturday  ( Num 15.15-16  ).

 

Christ was the head of the Church of Israel in the wilderness ( Acts 7.38-39; Ex 19.5-8; 1 Cor 10.1-4 ) and is the head of the New Testament Church, which he organized, being on Earth ( Col 1.18, Matt 16.18, Acts 2.41 ). Members should live in love and unity, carry the gospel worldwide through. God's love and mercy are to be opened in the Church ( Eph 3.9-11, 1 Pet. 2.9 ).

 

Christ loves his Church and has about her special care ( Eph 1.22-23, 5.25-27 ).

When the Church was finally finished its task, Christ will present her Father without spot and blemish ( Eph 5.27, Rev 14.1-5  ).
