СЛУЖЕНИЕ ЦЕРКВИ. Today I want to talk about what the Lord conceived of the church. I believe that God did not create the church otherwise than everything else that He created. And if we look at any living creation of God, we easily notice that it in itself has a program and potential for development. If external conditions are favorable, then everything created by God grows and develops by itself and everything that we work on is just the conditions in which we grow something. Up Paul compares the local church with the planting of some cultivated plant: I planted, Apollos watered, but God grew; 1 Cor. 3: 6. It is important for us to see this picture and understand how the church grows and develops, so that our faith grows, so that we don’t try to “pull a hippopotamus out of a swamp”, we don’t try to “grow”, because this is God's work, but our business is plant and water, work on conditions so that they are most favorable for the growth and development of the church. The Scripture also says that we are the living stones from which the church is built and we need to learn how to notice the promptings that come from the life of God in us. There are several types of motives in us: We can be prompted by necessity, as it is written: The laborer works for himself, because he forces him to do so. Prov. 16:26; we can be driven by the desire to prove something to someone (i.e., ambition), human passion (and not necessarily sinful) can push us to action, but we can also be driven by promptings from the Spirit of God and we need to learn to understand what drives us. The same Apostle, who compares the church with a cultivated plant, also speaks of it as a body, comparing the church with a human body. And it is important to learn how to relate to your own bodies in order to have that relationship with the church, which the Apostle writes about. The truth is that we do not trust our bodies because we often abuse them. But if a person learns to live in the freedom granted by Christ, learns not to abuse the pleasures associated with the body, then it is revealed to him that the body, as the Psalmist says, “works marvelously” I Glorify Thee, because I am wonderful. Ps. 138: 14. If we learn to trust the motives of the body, it turns out that it does not need to be forced to exercise, because it loves to move itself and you just need to follow this motivation, overcoming laziness, it can choose the foods that it needs to eat if we exclude all kinds artificial "taste enhancers", and if we eat normally and move enough, then everything will be all right with sleep! And it turns out that the body itself can perfectly regulate all these processes, if in our souls we have the right striving - towards God. When the soul is healed of rebellion through repentance and faith in Christ, the body can live in freedom, choosing what it really needs, but we need to learn how to work with our own body, which we have tortured and mercilessly exploited for many years. But it’s important for us to go in this direction in order to experience from our own experience that the body can be good, that it is not “sinful flesh”, it is an instrument and how we use it shows how much we really trust God. Scripture teaches us that from the moment we turn to Christ, we entrust to Him not only our souls, but also our bodies: you are bought at a price. Therefore, glorify God both in your bodies and in your souls, which are the essence of God. 1 Cor. 6:20 a.m. Do you know that your bodies are the temple of the Holy Spirit living in you, which you have from God, and you are not your own? 1 Cor. 6:19 a.m. Agree that it’s far from immediately that we learn to trust the Lord so that we see in our own body not a “stumbling block”, not something that we have to fight with, but a vessel in which the Spirit of God dwells. This is difficult for us, because, as we said in our last service, God's life and death, and a new creation and a decrepit one live in us at the same time, but faith teaches us what Ap writes about. John: And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it. John 1: 5. We need to believe in the victory of light in ourselves, because light is stronger than darkness. This is important not only because if we succeed in this, we come to great freedom and are filled with gratitude to God for our own bodies, but also because without moving in this direction we cannot understand how the Lord built His church. People who come to church expect that they will be given a certain “set of rules”, by fulfilling which they will go to Paradise. But if this happens, then often this set of rules becomes hell already here, when you try to follow it. It is no accident that the Apostles, giving the first church an instruction on piety, confined themselves to a few points: Refrain from sacrificing blood and blood, and strangulation, and fornication, and do not do to others what you do not want. Acts 15:29. And Ap. John generally wrote that everything we need to know about piety is within us from the very moment of our conversion to Christ: The anointing that you received from Him abides in you? |
