Thou hast the Scriptures, he says, in place of me. If thou wouldest learn anything, thou mayest learn it from them.

Christians Should Be Different! Peter neatly summed Christian characteristics in 2 Peter 1:5-8, saying: "And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge; and to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness; and to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity. For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that you shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. " I John 4:17 states: "Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgement: because as he is, so are we in this world." Modern life has many aspects. Let's examine, briefly, a few Christian attitudes and actions typical in every aspect.

Lesson 22: The Lord's Church Master index of 25 studies: "Determine your salvation" Lesson 22 The Lord's Church (Part A) There is one other thing that concerns our salvation that I would like for us to look at in the Bible. In response to Peter's confession to Jesus in Matthew 16:16 that, "You are the Christ, the Son of the living God". Jesus then says in Matthew 16:18, "On this rock I will build My church." To whom was this church to belong? "My" is possessive, which shows the church belongs to Jesus. How many churches did Jesus say He was going to build? He said He was going to build "My church", which is singular not plural. The Lord only promised to build His one church. In Ephesians 4:4-6 there are seven ones listed: "There is one body, and one Spirit, even as you were called in one hope of your calling; one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all who is above all, and through all, and in you all."
