Today there are over 600 different denominations with many different plans of salvation, practicing different kinds of worship, teaching different doctrines, and wearing different names which are unheard of and unknown in the Bible.
Is this what God wants?
If people would follow what the Bible says, and only what the Bible says, then there would only be one church, the church of Christ.
We must only worship and serve God, and not some idol or icon. As we worship in spirit and in truth, we are to sing praises to God. We are to do the singing ourselves and not have a choir to sing to us.
When God’s word is preached, God is glorified. Only God’s word must be preached. It is lately the tendency of some churches to entertain the people with their own stories, their life styles and with motivational speeches. If one is preaching man’s will, he is preaching a perverted gospel. The Bible must be the final and only source of spiritual authority for all that we teach and practice.
The Lord is to be worshipped and glorified in His church, the one He purchased with His own blood. He is the saviour. People are laboring in vain if they are not in that one church.
We are saved only after we have done the will of God and not man’s will. God must be worshiped as He has specified otherwise it will be vain and useless. Are you worshiping in the church of Christ, the one He bought with His own blood? Please don’t wait until the Day of Judgment to find out how wrong you are. Don’t allow someone to cheat you of your reward in Heaven. If it is Not Christ Like, It is Anti-Christ.
Please do not allow anyone or anything to cause you to vainly worship God by participating in worship that follows the commandments of men instead of God. If our worship to God is vain we will loose our souls. We will not be able to go to Heaven, but we will have to spend forever and ever in eternal punishment. I wonder if many people really believe there is going to be an eternal punishment in the fires of Hell.
But as the Bible says in Hebrews 9:27, “It is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment.” We will all stand before the Lord on the Day of Judgment and give an answer as to how we have obeyed Him. But on that day, as we are told in Matthew 7:13-14, only few will be saved and the majority of people will be lost. Such a tragedy!
Our Lord says in Matthew 6:33, “But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness.”
Going to heaven has got to be our first priority in our life or we probably will not make it. We will not accidentally end up in Heaven. Heaven is too great and glorious to miss. It will be beyond our greatest expectations. There is no way to visualize how wonderful it will be. Don’t you want to go there? Please don’t miss it. If we miss Heaven the only other place for us is eternal punishment, which is horrible and beyond description.
Deuteronomy 10:12-13 sums up everything quite well, “What does the Lord your God require of you, but to fear the Lord your God, to walk in all His ways and to love him, to serve the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul, and to keep the commands of the Lord and His statues.” This is what God requires of us, both in our obedience and worship of Him. We must worship God in spirit and in truth, if we really want to go to heaven.
