Communion of The Saints (The Local Assembly)
When you got born again, your spirit was quickened through regeneration. What the Lord does is to add you bodily to a physical assembly of the saints called the Local Church.
There, you will be taught about God and the New Life you have received. Through the teaching and the assembly life, your soul will be transformed and renewed in knowledge after the image of God who recreated you.
In this episode, we talked about:
A. The origin of the Local Church: The concept of community of God's people has been a signature of God's modus operandi since the foundation of the world. At the creation, it's community expression. When God called Abraham, God was to make a family out of him. The exclusive dealing of God within the Israel community and ultimately the founding of the Church on the Pentecost according to the promise of the Lord Jesus Christ.
B. Characteristics of the Local church:
1. Community
2. Culture
3. Christ
C. The need for the Local Church:
1. To worship God
2. To edify the saints
3. To evangelize the sinners
D. How to relate with the Local Church:
1. Be consistent: The highlight of the early church was the regular meetings of all the members. That is what sets the church apart from other Christian organisations. It is the regularity and constancy of meetings sharing the Apostles' Doctrine, Fellowshipping, Breaking Bread, and Praying together.
2. Identify and Participate: You identify with the Body of Christ by identifying with a local church. You participate in the Church Universal by being a vital part of a Local Church.
3. Keep blessing it: Your primary duty to the local church is to supply the grace of God in you to the church in service, worship, and giving. That is how you give a hand to the building of the Spiritual House.
4. Grow by it: The Local Church is not a club, neither is it a circus. It is the ground and pillar of Truth where you ought to be built in the way and knowledge of God by the teaching and practice of the Word. Through love walk, obedience to the authority God has set in place, and relationship repairs, you will grow up in Christ in all things.
