Why do people attend church? I have heard many reasons, excuses, and defenses about why they go.
“Oh it is good fellowship.” or… “The food is good.” or… “I have always gone there.”
Many answers are given. But according to the Bible, what is the reason we should go? We find that the scriptures testify that the goal of our faith is the salvation of our souls (I Peter 1:9). Then, the whole purpose in attending church is to obtain salvation. The only way to obtain salvation is to know the One who gives it. Of course Christ/God is the only One to grant eternal life/salvation. Then we must know God (John 17:3). But how can we know God? If we do the will of God we come to know God. As Christ said 2,000 years ago;
“Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.” (Matthew 7:21)
Then, even though many “Christians” acknowledge Christ with their mouths, do they actually do His will? No. Essentially He’s saying “Not every Christian will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the ones who do the will of my Father who is in heaven will enter.” Then, we must know the will of God in order to know God in order to obtain salvation. Then where can we know God?? In the Church of God World Mission Society, which keeps all the commands of God.
Please watch the video prior to understand what the remaining churches actually are.
Amen.
