CHURCH THAT CHRIST BUILT

Sad to say, some church have limited the folks they would serve. By their very names some declare that  they exist to serve certain ethnic, social or nations Groups. Conversely, the church which Christ built is unique because, by design, it is a church for all people.

There are no social distinctions.  Paul reminded the Christians in Galatia that there are neither bond nor free persons in Christ.  All are one (Galatians 3:28).

There are no racial distinctions.  In the same place, Paul said there can be neither Jew nor Greek in the Lord's church (Galatians 3:28).

There are no economic distinctions. Jesus rebuked those Christians who discriminated against the poor and fawned upon the rich.  Such behavior was totally unacceptable in Christ (James 2:9).

There are no age distinctions.  Christ made it clear that children were welcomed in his kingdom (Matthew 19:13-14). The prophet Joel predicted that young and old alike would have a place in Messiah's kingdom (Joel 2:28; Acts 2:17).

There are no political affiliations or agendas in the church of Christ.  His kingdom was, and is, "not of this world" (John 18:36).  Christ's church is not attached to any political party. Its loyalty is to Him alone (Philippians 3:13).

When these and other negative and undesirable aspects are eliminated, we are left with pure, unadulterated Christianity. This is what we must strive for.  With the Bible as our only guide and Christ as our only head, we can be the church he wants us to be.  We need only trust and obey.  Share the good news . Tell you friends and neighbors about Christ and the possibility of being simply a Christian, a member of that church established by Christ, of which you can read in your New Testament.
