ARE WE THE CHURCH OR THE BUILDING – Romans 9:6-8



I was listening to a message and the person made a point which is, we’ve got so familiar to the “church” that we’ve forgotten we are the church.

There is difference between been a believer and been a Christian, after all the people were believers when some set of people saw them and were amazed to see such traits of Christ in them and they gave them the name Christians. That name was based on what they could see, now you don’t have to believe before you are categorized to be a Christian, some just have some look of Christ but they aren’t children of God, of course they do give, they do have compassion on others, they even go to the extent of loving their neighbors but all these they do without a mind of Christ, these are just morals.

The Bible made it clear that “they are not all Israel which are of Israel”, been a church goer doesn’t qualify you to be a believer and I can also say been a Christian doesn’t make you a believer. There were two seeds of Abraham but just in one (Isaac) was the promised fulfilled and the seed counted.

There are children of God and children of the flesh, those led by the spirit of God the Bible classified as the children of God, law and routine differ from grace bought by Christ. Don’t mix things up, the church is not that building but those persons, of course the body of Christ couldn’t be made with some blocks and cements but with you and I.

Quit furnishing the “Church” start furnishing the real Church. Spend more time on what matters that is your relationship with God not some physical appearances because he doesn’t judge with that.
