The church and its purpose. In the reduction
When the Lord spoke to Peter about the creation of His church (Matthew 16:18), then he talked about the TRUE Church, which has nothing to do with the building. The true Church is composed of the full number of believers (born From Pentecost. How many in each Christian The local church is currently such people. Only God, and every one of those born from above only about himself. What is the purpose of creating a church on earth, first of all, It is necessary to pay attention to the verses of Christ (Matthew (16:18): “I say you: you-Peter, and on this stone I will create the Church of Mine, and the gates of hell are not And I will overcome it, and I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and what you will bring in the earth, It will be bound in the heavens, and what you will settle on earth will be permitted in heaven.”
Here, the purpose of God in the creation of the Church begins to open with a view. And Peter took this first step when on the day of Pentecost he opened doors of Christianity. The Sermon of Peter Became a Real Church a sermon, although this assembly is not yet known as a church, but baptized after repentance, and there were about three thousand of them, were formed The First Christian Church. “And they were constantly in the teaching Apostles, in the COMMUNITY and the refract of bread and in prayers. But the believers were together” (Acts 2:42:44). This was one of the actions of Peter, who pleased God and “What you bind on the earth will be connected in heaven, and As you will allow on earth, it will be allowed in heaven.” These words the relationship between believers about the establishment of close fraternal relationships between them, which should be established on the basis of love to each other already in life on Earth.
Christians in the church of the land will master the science of all together with the Lord and with each other for the Hereafter. The Word of God gives the Light to Life “If we walk in the light, like He is in the light, we have COMMUNION with each other, and the blood of Jesus Christ, His Son, cleanses us from all sins” (1 John 1:7).
As we see the COMMUNIation with each other, it is important in the church! The word “connected” (Matthew 16:19) does not need to be understood primitively. Linking this means to create from believers parishioners of the local church a family of loved ones people living in common to all spiritual and vital interests. Very It is important when parishioners (members of the church) have COMMUNICATION with each other as in the walls of the church, and outside them, arranging communication on various topics.
This is necessary to overcome the alienation that exists between people, Since it is known from practice that people often can not stay for a long time with each other, begin to be burdened after a while. So how Then live in a future one big church? Therefore, the word to connect, The Lord is so great for Christians!! The service in the Christian Church is, first of all, joint prayers that should be our thanksgiving to God to the Father for Jesus Christ. In my opinion, every beginning of our prayers believers should begin with thanksgiving to the Son God to Jesus Christ for His Calvary and love for people. And so on it says the Bible (Hebrews 13:15-16): “Therefore shall we be bounds by Him continually To bring to God the sacrifice of praise, that is, the fruit of the mouth that glorify His name. Do not forget also the benefaction and sociability, for such victims We are pleased with God.”
Our prayers in the church are our real communion with Jesus Christ.The Church is a holy place for believers and it is formed by them. “For my house It is called the house of prayer for all nations. 56:7). “And he said to them: It is written, “My house shall be called a house of prayer.” 21:13). “And taught them, Saying, is it not written, My house is a house of prayer for all Peoples?” (Mk. 11:17). “Saying to them, it is written, My house is a house of prayer.” (Lk. 19:46). In the Orthodox Church, when serving a long time for prayers is given and carried out in the Liternia. The Church is not only a gathering of believers. In the church come “not healthy, but the sick” (Matthew 9:12) – sick, drunken people, unbelievers. The serpent men of the earth seeking God and His love, who need God in their life, and also thanks to Him.
Christians must learn to live together by being on earth.
The Lord’s words about the Church are very important: “Truly I say to you, that you will bind on the earth, it will be bound in heaven; and what you will permit on the earth will be allowed in the sky. (Matthew, 18:18). The main thing is in these words, One of which, first of all, are the words of the God Christ “to CONNECT On the earth,” connect what will happen in the future.
CONCLUSION: We Christians must learn to live together while we are still on earth.
The Lord’s words concerning the Church are of paramount importance: “Truly, I say to you: whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven” (Matthew 18:18). The essence lies within these words—foremost among which are the words of God the Christ: “TO BIND ON EARTH”—to bind that which is yet to come.
