ONE BODYIs God the one establishing all the different factions and divided denominations? Would that not make Him the author of confusion? We understand that God has only one Body, one Church of which He is becoming the head. We do not believe that Christ and the early church were divided, nor is He coming after a people full of schisms. He is calling a people OUT of Babylon that will worship Him together in Spirit AND in Truth. They will ultimately share one faith, purpose, manner of life, doctrine and hope. Our Assembly is a tiny part of that one church BUT THANK GOD WE ARE A PART!

One Hope |
Titus 2:13 "Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ"
We, as the called out and chosen of God, do have this hope in Christ, to be like Jesus and to receive a resurrection unto life. Our hope is Eternal Life and Immortality! The Apostle Paul said "For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." If we don't believe that we can live above the reproach of sin, then we really do not believe what, Paul said in Phil 4:13 "I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me." So if we will get into Christ and have Christ in us, then our hope will be realized! AND WHAT A HOPE IT IS! |
