Church Member or Christ Worshipper?
\nFrom that time many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him. Then said Jesus unto the twelve, Will ye also go away? Then Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast the words of eternal life. And we believe and are sure that thou art that Christ, the Son of the living God. (John 6:66-69)
\nI have an acquaintance that has been a member of three churches in the last year. Every time he hears something he does not like, sees something he doesn\u2019t approve of, or just gets tired of what is going on, he leaves and finds another church. He and his wife are nothing more than church goers. There is a big difference between a church member and Christ worshipper.
\nYou cannot run off a Christ worshipper. He or she is like the Apostle Peter, when asked \u201cwill ye also go away\u201d he will be quick to answer, Lord, to whom shall we go? Thou hast the words of eternal life. And we believe and are sure that thou art that Christ, the Son of the living God.
\nPlease notice the words \u201cto whom shall we go.\u201d Salvation is not where shall we go, but to whom shall we go.\u201d There is only one person to whom we CAN go. There is only one way to salvation, only one door to enter. Christ says plainly \u201cI am the door\u201d of the sheep (John 10:7). Only one person has the words of eternal life.
\nAre you a church member or a Christ worshipper?
