(2) Church and Cross
There is a
cross in the church. God saves the dead to associates with Jesus on the cross.
The cross is the key to enter into heaven. The church in this world is where
the old man(oldself) was died. The grave
of the old man is the church of this world.
So, we
worship and sacrifice. Worship is a ceremony to confirm that we are dead to the
world. And the saints remember that we were dead with Yesus when they drink
wine. The cross in this world represents the death of the old man, but Jesus in
the kingdom of God is the place where the Saint is resurrected.
The Saints
are the ones who was died together with Jesus. So the Saints can give
themselves worship services because the Saints are the church. But ye are a
chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that
ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness
into his marvellous light; (1 Peter 2:9) The church in this world is imperfect
because they must grab the cross till the body of the saints shall be die. The
Saint worships in the name of Jesus Christ when he worships to God. The church
that does not hold Jesus dead on the cross is a false church. The church that
emphasizes the Holy Spirit is fake.
