Church Is A Messy Family
The church is bought by the blood of Christ Jesus (Acts 20:28). The church is God’s temple (1 Cor. 3:16). The church is the body of Christ, the fullness of Him who fills all in all (Eph. 1:23). The church is the household of God (Eph. 2:19). The church is God's royal priesthood and His own possession (1 Peter 2:9).
Further, the brothers and sisters of the church are called “saints” (1 Cor. 1:2). Every person who is saved by God’s grace shares in the inheritance of the saints in light (Col. 1:12). In fact, the church is God’s eternal community, for all believers are fellow citizens of God’s everlasting kingdom (Eph. 2:19).
Having read the above description about what the church is, it may cause some to think that church is like heaven on earth. To be a part of the church is like living in the presence of God. The saints in the church live a glorious life, talking and walking like Christ.
But, is this a reality?
