Membership of Christ Life Church

Why Should I Become a Member?

I. The Church is God’s Idea
  • The Old Testament put emphasis on the Temple, the house of the Lord, as the centerpiece in the lives of God’s people. The New Testament writers clearly assume that every Christian will be a part of The Church.’
  • The word Church’ is used approximately 115 times in Scripture. Out of 27 books in the New Testament, 10 were written to the local churches, 2 about the beginning of the Church History, 6 to Church Leaders and Pastors.

II. Christ loved the Church and is committed to building the Church.

  • Read Ephesians 5:25, 27 “[25] Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself for her, [27] that He might present her to Himself a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing, but that she should be holy and without blemish.” If Christ loved The Church’ and gave Himself for Her, then it’s unreasonable to think that Christians should be indifferent or estranged from the Church.
  • Read Matthew 16:18 “And I also say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it.” If Christ is committed to building the Church, then it’s unreasonable to think Christians should not be committed to building and growing the Church.

III. The Bible’s attitude about Church attendance and involvement can be seen in the following Psalms:

  • Psalms 122:1 “I was glad when they said to me, ‘Let us go into the house of the LORD.’ ” Our attitude should be glad and excited to come to church
  • Psalms 27:4 “One thing I have desired of the LORD, That will I seek: That I may dwell in the house of the LORD All the days of my life, To behold the beauty of the LORD, And to inquire in His temple.” Our attitude is to make a life-long habit of attending church.
  • Psalms 108:3 “I will praise You, O LORD, among the peoples, And I will sing praises to You among the nations.” Our attitude is to come together to Praise and give thanks to God.
  • Psalms 111:1 “Praise the LORD! I will praise the LORD with my whole heart, In the assembly of the upright and in the congregation.” Our attitude is to come into the congregation praising God with our whole heart.

IV. Church is a place for…

  • Us to grow and mature as Christians. Psalms 92:13 “Those who are planted in the house of the LORD shall flourish in the courts of our God.”
  • Us to fellowship, gather with other believers. Hebrews 10:25 “Do not forsake the assembly…”
  • Uniting ourselves together as a witness and influence to our city.
  • Us to offer up corporate Praise and Worship in the congregation. Psalms 111:1 “I will praise you in the congregation”
  • You to get equipped to fulfill the work of the ministry. Ephesians 4:12 “For the equipping of the Saints”
  • You to receive prayer from the elders of the Church. James 5:14 “Call for the Elders of the Church”
  • You to be taught the Word of God. Romans 10:17 “Faith comes by hearing the word of the Lord.”To use our gifts. Romans 12:6-8 “We have different gifts, according to the grace given to us”

Finding My Place

The Bible clearly tells us that church members are “the body of Christ.”

I Corinthians 12:27 “Now you are the body of Christ, and members individually.”

As a body of believers, we are a T.E.A.M., that is, Together Everyone Accomplishes More! Making your faith more personal involves developing your relationships with others in the church body. Being committed to your church is so important to victorious Christian living

Ephesians 4:15-16 “from whom the whole body, joined and knit together by what every joint supplies, according to the effective working by which every part does its share, causes growth of the body for the edifying of itself in love.”

You have been blessed with unique gifts from God; He made you to get and give His blessings! If you’ve become a member of Christ Life Church, we encourage you to take our 201 class, “Finding My Place,” to help determine those gifts and how you can use them to serve the Lord.
