Psalm 87
Season 1 Episode 48 Psalm 87
Children who are born in the city of God are children who born again through Jesus Christ.
God's greatest love is his love for his church. The Reformers all agreed that the church is the chief work of God. The church is not found on sources, culture, power, abilities but on the forever-living Jesus Christ. Indeed. Jesus Christ is the only foundation of the church. The church is the very special object of God's tender love even for the nation who hated and persecuted Jesus Christ. Even the nations will be numbered by God and all nations will come to worship him.
My friend YanYan asked me yesterday: There are many kinds of churches. Which one is the real church? The answer is in the Psalm. One way to tell is the church is solid is to listen to the preaching of God's word; whether it preaches Christ-centered gospel; whether it preaches Jesus Christ as the only foundation of the church. On the contrary, if it preaches the grandiose of the building, glory of the tradition, but doesn't preach Jesus Christ as one foundation of the church, you can decide that it is not a real church.
Jesus loves his church and died for her. The Bible often compares the church as the bride of Jesus Christ. She has once betrayed him and abandoned the covenant but Jesus came down for her from heaven to seek her and died for her. She was died in sin but now purchased with the precious blood of her bridegroom. He died and resurrected for her. He decorated her with love so that she is now pure and blameless. God's greatest love is his love for his church. No love is greater than Jesus' love. Every born-again Christians are part of the church because Jesus died for every single member of the church out of love.
This love is given to everyone who is in the city of God and everyone who is born-again through Jesus Christ. But those who are out of the church does not have a single share. Only the church found on the only foundation of Jesus Christ has the greatest share of God's love and forgiveness.
