What belief should a Christian hold to when it comes to the Church?

The Future History of the Church - part 1 , part 2 & part 3

on the theological front

If you believe in the Word of God, like many other God fearing, Bible believing people, you will probably also know that the Bible has been translated into more languages and has sold more copies than any other book.

There is no doubt that the Bible is absolutely true and historically correct. God is true to His Word, which can never change Psalm 147:15; Jeremiah 23:29; Romans 9:28; 2 Peter 3:7 It is written that in the past God spoke through the prophets, but in the last days, He speaks through His Son, who is the true Logos or Word Hebrews 1:1-2; John 1:1

Although the last days commenced with the ascension of Jesus, we find ourselves in the last days before His return. This is evident, when studying end time prophesies and in the events that are taking place all over the world. Events that the Bible mentions would take place, although there are still many prophecies to be fulfilled before the final trump of the end of times 1 Corinthians 15:52; 1 Thessalonians 4:16-18

It is also amazing how many people have come to know Jesus Christ, just by reading or hearing and then believing the Bible 1 Thessalonians 2:13 They might have found themselves on a remote island or somewhere in prison, having read the Scriptures and have given their lives to Jesus. By making this life changing decision, they have decided to live a Christian life according to the will of God, which is clearly stated in His Word. As a born again Christian they now acknowledge the Lord in every aspect of their lives and seek His will instead of their own.

Do not think for one moment that living a Christian life is always a walk in the park. You will be persecuted for your beliefs as it is written in the Bible and many Christians all over the world are experiencing this intense persecution while you are reading this page. The Bible says that we should do our calculations carefully, just like you would when planning to build a new house. You do not want to find yourself halfway and then come short of money Luke 14:26-28

This goes for every true Christian, who has made the necessary “calculations” before turning away from their sinful nature after repenting and accepting God's Grace, through the belief that Jesus Christ was offered as the perfect sacrifice for our sins. Rest assured that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love Him Rom 8:28

You should have a desire to study the Scriptures daily and reason with God, while you continue to work out your salvation so that you might understand what is written in His Holy Word Philippians 2:12 We recommend the King's evangelical divinity school , based in England, for the study of Scripture and correct hermeneutics. The Bible is undoubtedly the greatest book that has ever been written, due to the fact that in it God Himself speaks to man. The Holy Spirit has lead men to write these words based on revelations from God.

It is therefore not only a book of divine instruction, but it offers comfort in sadness, guidance in confusion, advice for our everyday problems; it also reprimands us when we sin and serves as a daily inspiration for our every need, seeing that God says we can not live from bread alone, but from every Word that comes from His mouth Matthew 4:4

Although the Bible (canon) is a single book on the one hand, it is also an entire library of books on the other, consisting of different literature, which include history, poetry, drama, biography, prophecy, philosophy, science and inspirational reading.

The Bible has the power to change lives because it shows you how to enter into a relationship with the Lord and live accordingly. Make an effort to study your Bible diligently and see how your life will be transformed from living a self-centred life to living a Christ-centred life.
