GOD’S ELECT IN PUBLIC ASSEMBLY
Since the days of the apostles I see them. All around the world I see them. Some are Jews and some are Gentiles; some are employers and some employees; some are prosperous and well to do and some are poor and hardly make do; some hold degrees in education and some are scarcely educated at all. Yet I see them on the way to a designated location to meet together. Some come from one direction and some from another; some riding and some walking, but all, with purpose of heart, on the way to the same place to meet together. These people who are so different, in so many ways, what is it that draws them together? Why, it is the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ. By the Spirit and grace of God, they all have the same problem, the same need, and have all embraced the one and only remedy, the Lord Jesus Christ, their Redeemer-God. They all have one faith, one hope, and one Lord and Savior. They are God’s called out ones, the church, and the churches of the Lord Jesus Christ. These are Christians.
