Following Jesus isn’t About Church and Bible Study
Following Jesus is about hearing His voice, that’s why Jesus said; “My sheep hear My voice and they do NOT listen to strangers…” Christians who are just seeking after fellowship, a good church, a good bible study, a good pastor, they’re seeking after the teachings of MEN is what it comes down to. And although they say they want to be biblical, in reality they want their ears to be tickled. How sad it is that the majority of the Christian church does not hear their LORD’S voice. They hear their pastors, they hear the bible study teachers, but they don’t hear JESUS. Jesus taught righteousness, He called people to REPENT. He did not teach this easy grace gospel that you are saved and then you can just live life FOR YOURSELF, you can just go to church on Sunday and you are saved and going to heaven. Jesus taught righteousness, He did NOT teach religion. Jesus was not religious, Jesus was HOLY and He called people to come out of the world to STOP SINNING and He called them to the HOLY LIFE. People spend so much time looking for Christian fellowship, looking for bible studies that they don’t even pay attention to what Jesus is saying, they don’t hear His voice and because of that they are lost souls. I want to read to you what Jesus said to one lost soul in John chapter 4:19-24;
“The woman said to Him, “Sir, I perceive that You are a prophet. Our fathers worshiped on this mountain, and you Jews say that in Jerusalem is the place where one ought to worship.”
In other words this lady was saying, “We worship in this church, you guys worship in that church, what is the right church to go to?” What does Jesus say?
Jesus said to her, “Woman, believe Me, the hour is coming when you will neither on this mountain, nor in Jerusalem, worship the Father. You worship what you do not know, we KNOW what we worship, for salvation is of the Jews. But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in SPIRIT and TRUTH; for the Father is seeking such to worship Him. God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in SPIRIT and TRUTH.”
We need to get to know the true Living GOD in the bottom of our souls and it starts with PRAYER. God gave each and every one of us a conscience, and if we pray and ask the Holy Spirit to come into us, to convict us of His truth, to convict our conscience He will do that and we will learn how to worship GOD in our SPIRIT and in TRUTH. Following Jesus Christ does NOT stat with religion, it does not start with plugging into a “church”, listening to a pastor. Jesus is not religious HE IS HOLY and He is calling you and me to the HOLY LIFE. Without being holy and righteous we will not enter the Kingdom of God. Without overcoming our sins we will not enter the Kingdom of God. The church teaches bible study, they teach doctrines and they completely deceive people into thinking that righteousness is about bible study and about fellowship, but they don’t teach true repentance. How sad it is that people think that they are entering the Kingdom of God by bible study and going to church. We need to get to know the Master’s voice. We need to worship GOD in SPIRIT and in TRUTH. Do you really hear the Lord’s voice, are you obeying Him? It’s impossible to obey GOD if you don’t hear Him. If you don’t hear Him and if you don’t obey Him it doesn’t matter to what church you belong to, it doesn’t matter how biblical you are, it doesn’t matter how many sermons you have heard. The world is on it’s way to HELL and Christians are also on their way to hell because they are LOST SOULS, they are LOST IN TH WORLD. They don’t hear the MASTERS voice. I encourage you to start PRAYING, get to know GOD in SPIRIT and in TRUTH. It doesn’t matter if we’re on an airplane up on the clouds, or if we are on the very bottom of the ocean in a submarine, we are STILL THE CHURCH IF WE ARE WITH JESUS CHRIST, if we are worshiping Him in SPIRIT AND IN TRUTH, WE ARE THE TRUE CHURCH. But the true church is NOT just an organization, it is not just a 501(C)3, it’s not just a group of people that SAY they belong to a certain church, the true church are those that actually HEAR THE LORD’S VOICE AND OBEY HIM, who WORSHIP HIM IN SPIRIT AND IN TRUTH! Are you part of this true church? Are you one of the ones who is overcoming? Or are you stuck in the church that believes that everyone can still sin, that you just got to get plugged into a “good bible church” a good bible study? Where are you today? Are you with JESUS? Or are you with the Pharisees, with the hypocrites, with the liars, with the religious? Where are you today spiritually? Are you with Jesus Christ or are you with satan?
