If the church is a body, are you a functioning part? If we are the bride, are you preparing for the wedding? Jesus tasked us to do and be many things while He was still here on earth. Here’s just a few:
Love the Lord God with all that you are
Spread the Gospel to all nations
Be salt and light
Love your neighbor
Love your enemy
Pray
Lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven
If this is our charge, then why have we become a generation of Christian consumers? Why is it that we only attend church and don’t invest ourselves? To be what Jesus has asked us to be is a team effort. The team is you (the believer), Christ (head of the church) and the Holy Spirit. You see, faith was never meant to be a solo pursuit. That is why we need to invest ourselves in a local church. The church is where God grows us, encourages us and uses us. So then if Christ -- who asks us to be much more than believers -- is head of the church, then we must have a passionate commitment to His church all over the world as well as locally.
John F. Kennedy said “Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country.” My question to you is: What are you doing for your church?
