FELLOW CITIZENS
Ephesians 2:19-22
Now, therefore, you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God, having been built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ Himself being the chief cornerstone, in whom the whole building, being fitted together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord, in whom you also are being built together for a dwelling place of God in the Spirit.
Personal Challenge
Being a Christian is not being a lone ranger. We have been saved into a body of believers that goes back to the beginning of the church founded by the Apostles and Fathers of the church. There is no such thing as an isolated Christian. We need each other to grow, to love, and be loved. Even Jesus surrounded Himself with the twelve Apostles. We have become complacent in our society and culture to stand alone and apart from each other and have brought that mindset into the church. However, the true Church of our Lord is an entity of its own, the Bride of Christ, and will not let this individualistic mindset invade the church. Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, the sinner!
