EFCA Statement of Faith Article 7: The Church
We believe that the true church comprises all who have been justified by God’s grace through faith alone in Christ alone. They are united by the Holy Spirit in the body of Christ, of which He is the Head. The true church is manifest in local churches, whose membership should be composed only of believers. The Lord Jesus mandated two ordinances, baptism and the Lord’s Supper, which visibly and tangibly express the gospel. Though they are not the means of salvation, when celebrated by the church in genuine faith, these ordinances confirm and nourish the believer.
1. We enter the city of the Living God
2. We join with thousands upon thousands of angels
3. We join with all those whose names are in the book of life
We gather as a group of those who have received eternal salvation and every spiritual blessing from God.
4. We come to be near to God himself
“To come before God in humble boldness is our highest delight and it is made even more intense when we worship with other Christians for whom it is also true.”
~ Kent Hughes
5. We gather with other godly saints who have gone before us
The same spiritual life that is flowing through believers who have died is now also flowing through us.
6. We come to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant
Those who engage in the gathering of the church give themselves to overflowing grace in Jesus Christ.
7. We remember the amazing blood of Jesus that washes all guilt
The Bible is telling us right now that when we come to church we are coming to:
1-The city of God
2-Thousands upon thousands of angels
3-Other believers who share in our grace
4-God himself
5-Victorious Christians who have gone before us
6-Jesus our King and Redeemer
7-Total forgiveness
"What should the truth that we are the church mean to us? It should fill us with wonder and thanksgiving. We ought to sing, ‘I am his body, his temple, his bride, his sheep, his branch. I have come to his city, to angels, to brothers and sisters, to God himself, to the church glorified, to Jesus, to forgiveness through Christ’s blood.”
~Kent Hughes
Jesus, open my eyes to truly understand the beauty of your church.
