The Congregation is NOT for Sinners – So Go Preach the Gospel!
Let me correct one of the biggest false teachings of our generation right quick:
The New Covenant Congregation is NOT for sinners! Read 1 Corinthians 5:9-13. Titus 3:9-11. These Scriptures show that sinners in the Congregation are to be purged and rejected, until they repent!
Psalm 1:5 Therefore
the
ungodly shall not stand
in
the
judgment,
nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.
So how does God produce true Believers?
In order to save the lost, the Gospel of the Kingdom was meant to be preached PUBLICLY AND IN THE OPEN.
The Light of the Gospel is NOT hidden until people come to your special congregational meeting.
When Jesus preached Repentance, His message preceded Him. Wherever He went, people already knew how to repent from their sins! Because they already knew what He stood for. That’s how He was able to seek and save the lost. Not by hiding the hard messages, but by being bold as a lion in shining the light of repentance.
Luke 19:5 And when Jesus came to the place, he looked up, and saw him, and said unto him, Zacchaeus, make haste, and come down; for to day I must abide at thy house.
6 And he made haste, and came down, and received him joyfully.
7 And when they saw it, they all murmured, saying, That he was gone to be guest with a man that is a sinner.
8 And Zacchaeus stood, and said unto the Lord: Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor; and if I have taken any thing from any man by false accusation, I restore him fourfold.
9 And Jesus said unto him, THIS DAY is SALVATION COME to this house, forsomuch as he also is a son of Abraham.
10 For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.
The Ecclesia is an Assembly of those that have ALREADY ANSWERED the Call of the Gospel, Repentance, Healing, and Instruction that they heard BEFORE they even joined the Assembly!
Kletos – to call out
Klesis – an invitation
Ekkletos -to be called out, answering the call
Ekklesia – group of those that have answered the call
That means they already heard the gospel and were CALLED OUT of sin, healed, and delivered before they even became Believers!
Mark 2:17 When Jesus heard it, he saith unto them, They that are whole have no need of the physician, but they that are sick: I came not to CALL the righteous, but sinners to REPENTANCE.
[The Operative Action Words in this Scripture are: CALL, and REPENTANCE]
It’s not about packing out a building to hear the gospel performance – it’s about GOING OUT and Preaching the Gospel, and then those that are DOERS of the Word Assemble and Congregate to CONTINUE in Apostolic Doctrine, Fellowship, Prayer and Worship!
That means you need to preach and teach what you claim to believe OUT IN THE OPEN and stop waiting for people to “come to church.”
Instead of just inviting people to “the hospital for the sick” – go heal and deliver those who need help in Jesus Name!
Acts 8:4
Therefore they that were scattered abroad went EVERY WHERE PREACHING THE WORD.
This doesn’t mean that Unbelievers cannot come to or visit an Ekklesia. It means it’s not for them – it’s for God.
It means we dont change the prophetic Word or water down His Commandments for unbelievers.
1 Corinthians 14:24 But if all prophesy, and there come in one that believeth not, or one unlearned, he is CONVINCED of all, he is JUDGED of all:
25 And thus are the secrets of his heart made manifest; and so FALLING DOWN on his face HE WILL WORSHIP GOD, and report that God is in you of a truth.
Gentiles dont change the message, they get in on Sabbath Fellowship and New Covenant worship.
Unbelievers dont change the worship, they come to repent and keep His Commandments.
Isaiah 56:6 Also the sons of the stranger, that join themselves to the Lord, to serve him, and to love the name of the Lord, to be his servants, every one that keepeth the SABBATH from polluting it, and taketh hold of MY COVENANT;
7 Even them will I bring to my holy mountain, and make them joyful in my HOUSE OF PRAYER: their burnt offerings and their sacrifices shall be accepted upon mine altar; for mine house shall be called an HOUSE OF PRAYER FOR ALL PEOPLE.
The Congregation is NOT for Sinners – So Go Preach the Gospel!
Preach wherever you can:
– Public
– Media
– Conversations
Glorify him in Meekness and Fear.
Live, Preach, Teach what you believe. Heal the Sick and Cast out Devils.
Preach repentance to God’s Commandments.
Preach faith in Jesus’s Death, burial, and resurrection.
Preach baptism in water unto a new creation.
Preach the infilling of the Holy Spirit.
Preach everything that God puts in your belly. Encourage. Warn. Help. Teach.
Then join the pillar and ground of the truth – the Ecclesia (1 Timothy 3:15), knowing how to behave yourself in the house of God. Come together to create an altar of living stones (1 Peter 2:5) to give Him the sacrifice of thanks, praise and worship (Hebrews 13:5). Walk in the light of fellowship and let the purifying blood of Jesus flow thru other Blood vessels to you (1 John 1:7).
The Blood of Jesus Conquers sin, and Blood Vessels of Fellowship in Light Cleanses us from sin (1 John 1:7). SonLight is Warm!🌞
Assemble with saints to get built up, get charged up in the Light and go back out to live the truth you believe!
Luke 9:2 And he sent them to preach the kingdom of God, and to heal the sick.
3 And he said unto them, Take nothing for your journey, neither staves, nor scrip, neither bread, neither money; neither have two coats apiece.
4 And whatsoever house ye enter into, there abide, and thence depart.
5 And whosoever will not receive you, when ye go out of that city, shake off the very dust from your feet for a testimony against them.
