How would you explain the church? Would that explanation differ from how Jesus would explain the church — His people? This lesson considers how starting with Christ and His words is essential for revealing the church to the world. If our explanation of the church does not begin with Christ and His words, would we describe another church: our family’s church, a television church, and a dream church? There are people skilled in making churches for the masses. However, Jesus did not always please the masses. The Christian plea to the world should be that everyone follow Christ to His church, and not to follow a church to their version of Christ. What are some qualities that Jesus described about His church? This lesson will simply turn to Jesus and His words to see the church of Christ.

The Church of Christ is Holy

God has made His people holy according to the Bible. The Scriptures also reveal that without holiness no one will see the Lord. Do you have a desire for a pure and holy life? Christ makes His church holy without spot and blemish. While hostility and evil deeds have stained all people, Jesus makes believers blameless if they continue in the faith and do not shift from the hope of the Gospel. This begins when one is washed in the name of Jesus Christ. Christ helps believers put off the old self and put on the new by the renewal in the spirit of one’s mind. This includes changing one’s behavior from profane language to pure speech that thanks God. Holiness also includes putting away all forms of sexual immorality to walk in the light. Consider more about how Christ can wash and make people holy.

Did Jesus think that He was gaining the church when He died upon the cross? Jesus did die to obtain “a people of his own possession” that is the church. If Jesus died to obtain the church, how does that change a person’s perspective of the church? Jesus promised that He would build the church (Matt 16:18). The apostle Paul described the structure of the church as God’s holy temple in whom His Spirit dwells. The apostle also described the leadership and the foundation of the God’s temple — the church. This lesson is the beginning of a series about how Jesus organized the church. With Jesus dying for the church and building the church, do you really know the essentials of how Jesus structured His church?

What worries you? What causes you stress and frustration? Are you able to turn off your anxieties before bed? Jesus promises a peace that surpasses all understanding. This is a demonstration of God’s power that every Christian can experience. The peace of God can guard every believer’s heart and mind. The faith that comes through Jesus Christ gives believers a new way of positive thinking. This thinking is the reasonableness that Paul instructed Christians to make known to everyone. Within this context, Paul revealed that he learned to be content with little or much. The apostle declared, “I can do all things through him who strengthens me.” Consider what Paul really meant by this famous passage.
