Jesus Encounters His Bride Part 1 – Who is the church? Grace Community Church January 18, 2009

Galatians 4:4-7 4 But when the fullness of time had come, God sent forth his Son, born of woman, born under the law, 5 to redeem those who were under the law, so that we might receive adoption as sons. 6 And because you are sons, God has sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, crying, “Abba! Father!” 7 So you are no longer a slave, but a son, and if a son, then an heir through God.

The Church is the Body of Christ Ephesians 1: And he put all things under his feet and gave him as head over all things to the church, 23 which is his body, the fullness of him who fills all in all.

The Church is God’s Household 1 Peter 2:4-5 4 As you come to him, a living stone rejected by men but in the sight of God chosen and precious, 5 you yourselves like living stones are being built up as a spiritual house, to be a holy priesthood, to offer spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.

The Church is Christ’s Bride Ephesians 5: Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her, 26 that he might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word, 27 so that he might present the church to himself in splendor, without spot or wrinkle or any such thing, that she might be holy and without blemish. 28 In the same way husbands should love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself.

The Church is Christ’s Bride Ephesians 5: For no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as Christ does the church, 30 because we are members of his body. 31 “Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and hold fast to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh.” 32 This mystery is profound, and I am saying that it refers to Christ and the church.

Why does it matter? You are not your own. Romans 12:3-5 You must be a part of the body to mature. 1 Corinthians 12, Ephesians 4. You must be a part of the body to be on mission. Matthew 16:18 You cannot love Christ if you do not love his Bride. 1 John 4:21

What do we do? Trust Christ as Lord and Savior. Eph1:13-14 Indentify with Christ through Baptism. Matthew 28:18-19 (next baptisms Easter – April 12) Understand your local church. GTKG 2/22/09 Get involved in Biblical Community
