132-Church is not a building. It is the people of God carrying His Spirit into everyday life. The true church is formed by hearts transformed through grace, not by brick or stone. Many were taught that attending a service defines faith, yet Scripture says we are the living temple where His presence dwells. Gathering with believers can be encouraging when the message points to the finished work of Christ, and there is nothing wrong with choosing to attend a local church. What matters is the message we hear. Many teachings blend law and grace and leave people burdened instead of free. If a message says God loves us while still requiring performance to keep His approval, it draws us away from the true Gospel. Grace reveals what Jesus accomplished forever. The church is who we are every day, carrying His love, His truth, and His freedom to the world.
