Which church is right?


Introduction. This is a good, timely question. Many "church-goers" today do not even consider the rightness or wrongness of their religion. They belong to a particular church because such is convenient or they simply "like it." Jesus built his church (Matt. 16:16, Acts 2:47). He built only one (not denominations, teaching different doctrines, Eph. 4:4-6, 1:22,23). Jesus shed his blood for his church (Acts 20:28). Hence, it behooves us to be part of Jesus' church, the right church.

The church which submits to Jesus' headship. Many of the current denominations do not even claim to go by the scriptures. In fact, they advertise their modernism and "any-thing-goism." They believe churches which do submit to Jesus' authority are "out-of-date" and legalistic. Notwithstanding Jesus'' church submits to his headship (Eph. 1: 22,23, Matt. 28:18). This means the right church does what the scriptures teach (2 John 9-11). She is designed by a scriptural designation (cf. Rom. 16: 16), teaches the true plan of salvation (John 8:24, Acts 17:31, Rom. 10:10, Acts 2:38), and worships God in spirit and in truth (John 4:24).

Jesus' church exists today. I kindly challenge you to take God's word and find the right church. You can easily eliminate modernistic, liberal, selfish churches and clearly establish the identity of the Lord's church – by using God's word. Be a member of the Lord's house and not Man's (Heb. 3:1-6). Enjoy answered prayer, the cleaning of Jesus' blood, and heaven for an eternity (1 John 3:22, 5:11). Remember, "Every plant, which my heavenly Father hath not planted, shall be rooted up" (Matt. 15:13). Jesus said this regarding false religions (Matt. 15: 1-14). Come out of Babylon (false religion) and bask in God's truth which will make you free (Rev. 18:3,4, Jun. 8:32).
