" Jesus Christ Have Already Made All Jesus Christ Believers One In His Awesome And Blessed Loving Kingdom"
If You Have Jesus Christ Then Share Him, And If You Don't Know Him, Jesus Christ Then You Must Receive Him, The Lord And Savior Jesus Christ!
The Way Jesus Christ, Acts 2:38
"The Lord Jesus Christ Don't Build So-Called Buildings, But The Lord Our God In Christ He Build Lives In Jesus Christ Who Is True And Real Church Of Jesus Christ"
Nurturing The Household Of Faith Which Are in Christ Jesus:
We must keep in mind that the Church Jesus built is not an impressive building with stained-glass windows. It has no steeple or bells tolling out the chimes of an old religious melody they are believers who have made Jesus Christ Lord of their lives.
The word church in the New Testament means a group of Jesus Believers, not a building. The Church Jesus built is made up of the people who are its members of Jesus Christ. They are the Church!
Why is this distinction important?
The Greek word ekklesia, translated into English as church, simply means "those called out" or a "called-out assembly." It originally referred to a city's assembly of citizens—summoned to a meeting to conduct the city's affairs. Because its meaning closely corresponds to that of the Hebrew word for "congregation," it became the standard Greek word for the "congregation" of God in the New Testament, the assembly that has come to be known in the English language as the Church.
Christ's apostles describe the Church as those who, having surrendered their lives to God in Jesus Christ with sincere obedience, have received the Holy Spirit ( Acts 8:1 ) ( Acts 2:38) (Acts 8:32; Romans 8:9). Indeed, the Church's members are sometimes compared to the individual parts of a stone building. The apostle Peter wrote, "You also, as living stones, are being built up a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ" (1 Peter 2:5). Called from all nationalities and ethnic backgrounds, all of the Church's members "are no longer strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God" (Ephesians 2:19).
Those in Jesus Christ Church are thus members of God's family, though not yet glorified. Indeed, Church members fully understand that they are still fallible, imperfect human beings. Yet they strive to do their best in serving their heavenly Father in the Holy Spirit. This they do, knowing He has already given His best for them—His only begotten Son as their Savior. And, in His great mercy, He actively prepares them for their role in His coming Kingdom.
In this present age of preparation, God's people draw strength and comfort both from Him and from each other in Jesus Christ. For that reason Hebrews 10:24-25 states: "Let us consider how we may spur one another on towards love and good deeds. Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another—and all the more as you see the Day [of Christ's return] approaching" (NIV).
The Apostle James & Betty R Winfree Ministries & Team diligently strives to implement the biblical mandate for "equipping the saints"—that is, preparing members of the "body of Christ" to fulfill their calling as God's servants now and as His eternal family in the coming Kingdom of God in Christ Jesus (Ephesians 4:12). Its Family Time Jesus Believers!!!!
