Why Am I A Member of the church of Christ – Part 4
Some other wonderful things we could discuss in this respect are: I am a member of the church of Christ because it was founded on the day that Christ’s church was founded—Pentecost in Acts 2. I am a member of the church of Christ because it is organized the way Christ’s church was organized; because it worships the way Christ’s church worshipped; because it teaches what Christ taught in regard to heaven and hell; because it teaches what Christ taught in regard to the day of judgment; because it teaches what Christ taught in regard to His own death, burial, and resurrection; because it teaches what Christ taught in regard to the inspiration of the scriptures. We could go on into the numerous things that Christ and the apostles taught regarding God’s will for man. But if the church of Christ was NOT teaching the truth regarding these many things, I would NOT be a member of it. The only reason to be a member of any church is because that church teaches and practices WHAT CHRIST TAUGHT! “Try your own selves whether ye be in the faith. Prove yourselves!”
A seed will produce after its own kind. An Apple seed cannot bring forth a Peach tree. A Wheat seed cannot bring forth a Pecan tree. A Grape seed cannot bring forth a Watermelon. Now, “The seed is the word of God” (Luke 8:11b). When THAT seed is planted, what will come of it? They got Christians (Acts 11:26). And when the church teaches and practices what Christ and the apostles taught and practiced, you can only get ONE THING—GOD’S CHURCH— CHRIST’S CHURCH—THE CHURCH OF CHRIST! That is why I am a member of the church of Christ.
God bless you, and I love you.
