The Church of God in Name Only

First of all, I must say that God believes that he has a universal church, the church of God. "The church of God is only a nominal one." It is an effort to criticize those who claim to have high demands, but their life is short lived. To my knowledge, many of the people who claim to be God's saints are not. Because in the text we consider these people holy. Such a person is not a church of God. To understand the reasoning behind this theme, we need a general understanding of God's church standards.

God's "name" often refers to the nature of God. When we recognize or declare the name of God, we are summoned to express the essence of God. The church is the sacrament of the name of God and the nature of God. We are asked to point to God. As a church, we did not fulfill this requirement. Our personal life together does not express the nature of God. There are church scandals and personal crimes. Our worship and service are so sloppy, there are terrible thoughts, lack of energy, enthusiasm, most people have little to do with God.

God just hopes that the orthodox church can also be seen under the name given to the Bible church. With Tim. 3:15 It is called the temple of God - the spiritual house God built for him - only God is the Lord. Like the orderly house, as the father's word dominates, in the church, the house of God, only the word of God should rule and should rule over in every sense. Therefore, the minister must preach the Word of God. Anyone who puts the word of God aside will make God the owner of the house. As ministers of God's spiritual family, ministers must express their loyalty through preaching, not purely God's word, but their own wisdom. "If someone speaks, let him speak as the word of God, if someone is serving, let him do what God is to offer." (Peter 1 4: 11)
