BUILDING OR SCAFFOLDING?
Now, therefore, you are no longer strangers and foreigners,
but fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God,
having been built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets,
Jesus Christ Himself being the chief corner stone,
in whom the whole building, being joined together,
grows into a holy temple in the Lord,
in whom you also are being built together for a dwelling place of God in the Spirit.
Ephesians 2:19-22
Are you a part of the temple of GOD?
If you are one who is helping the Church with your time and skills, your facilities and finances, well and good. You must also make sure you are a part of the building and not just the scaffolding!
The scaffolding is built just for a season for a purpose in the process of the repair and restoration of the building. It is then brought down.
You may be saying in your heart, "I am helping these Christians with many things in many ways. Surely, GOD will remember me." You may be a part of the paid staff of a Church, permanent or temporary. You may be doing many things in and around the Church on a voluntary basis.
Working at the airport or on an aircraft doesn't give you the right to get on a flight!
You need to have a personal conviction that CHRIST is in you. You must be assured that you are in CHRIST. You must get connected to the Almighty GOD, your Creator, through the LORD JESUS.
It is essential for you to step into the Kingdom of GOD to be saved. You must personally believe on the LORD JESUS CHRIST, repent of your sin and accepting His forgiveness, you must receive JESUS into your life. Thus you become a part of the Body of CHRIST. Your name will be recorded in the Lamb's book of life. Then you will have CHRIST in you Who is the hope of glory! You will then be a member of the worldwide Church, the family of GOD. Your fellowship with the believers will be meaningful as you are a livingstone in the temple of the Almighty GOD!
Do not delay!
make your decision today!
Receive the LORD JESUS into your heart:
Enter the Kingdom of GOD.
For this reason I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
from whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named,
that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory,
to be strengthened with might through His Spirit in the inner man,
that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith;
that you, being rooted and grounded in love,
may be able to comprehend with all the saints
what is the width and length and depth and height-
- to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge;
that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.
Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly
above all that we ask or think,
according to the power that works in us,
to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations,
forever and ever. Amen.
Ephesians 3:14-21
