What is the best church?
Many people think that the Creator delights in seeing many believers meeting in one place to praise Him. Nonetheless, since the outset, the Creator designed that the men spread on the Earth and fill it.
And Jesus confirmed this, enjoining the believers to go abroad preaching the gospel to all creature (Mat 28:18-20; Mark 16:15).
When someone tried to get together people in one place in order to glorify the Creator and reach the heaven, the aftermath was the confusion of tongues (Gen 11:4).
You can think: what is the problem with great religion institutions? To exemplify, try to imagine a religion institution of 5.000 members. How many active members are there? About ten (the pastor, the musicians and some helpers). Nevertheless, and if these 5.000 members met in 500 houses in groups of ten? Certainly, all the ten will be active, as it was in Corinth:
• 1Co 14:26 -> “How is it then, brethren? when ye come together, every one of you hath a psalm, hath a doctrine, hath a tongue, hath a revelation, hath an interpretation. Let all things be done unto edifying.”.
Not to mention that, all of these 10 members would know each other very well and, with the unction of the Holy Spirit, they would have condition of being a perfect and united family, while in mega religion institutions, people go to there and, most of the times, they not even know the person who sit at their side. Although thousands of people can be together, there is no communion and compassion between them.
The idea is that we can be the Holy Spirit’s temple (1Cor 3:16; 6:19; 2Cor 6:16) and people that Jesus brings to us, the stones that will make up Jesus’ Church in us (1Peter 2:5-8).
These people in our life should accompany us along the day (not only two or three times a week tonight). In other words, each man should work in Christ with their wife, children and these believers, as a united family, until they get the maturity in faith (see Eph 4:11-16). When this day arrives, each one of these believers will become Jesus’ Church with their members and Jesus will send newborns in faith in order to get their discipleship.
And each man, with his family and believers working together in perfect harmony (similar to what we can read in Acts 4:32) to supply their needs makes up the true Church of Christ.
So, have a good day being Jesus’ city edified on the mount (Mat 5:14-16).
