The Church

12/15/2016

 
The Greek word for church is Ekklesia, and when used in the Bible, it is used to refer to a public gathering of Believers. When we gather together with other Believers, we then make up what is called the "church." This is why Hebrews 10:25 says, "Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching." We're admonished through the Holy Scriptures to meet together and fellowship with other Believers. To neglect to meet together is to disobey God's Word... The majority of the New Testament was written to churches (the church of Corinthe, Colossae, Galatia, etc). Even Paul's Epistles that were written to individuals, those individuals were church leaders.

​So we can never outgrow the necessity of the church. Jesus said in Matthew 16:18, "...thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it."
