SELaplana >> Church >> Don’t Need to Join the Church?

Question: Isn’t it written in the Bible that by only believing Christ will saved us? If that so, then there’s no need to join the Church?
Answer:

Nowhere in the Bible that we can read, “By just believing in Christ, we’ll be saved.” What is written is:

16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. (John 3:16, NKJV)

According to Apostle John, those who believe in Christ will be saved. Saying that whoever believes in Him should not perish doesn’t mean that by Faith Alone to Christ will save us.

But how can men be saved if they believe in Christ? They will be saved because they will follow the invitation of Christ to enter by Him:

9 I am the door. If anyone enters by Me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture. (John 10:9,NKJV)

Entering by Christ means, to become parts of the body:

4 For as we have many members in one body, but all the members do not have the same function, 5 so we, being many, are one body in Christ, and individually members of one another. (Romans 12:4-5, NKJV)

The body of Christ is the Church:

18 And He is the head of the body, the church, who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in all things He may have the preeminence.(Colossians 1:18, NKJV)

Therefore: “Faith alone to Christ can save us” is not true. For us to be saved, our faith in Christ will lead us to follow his command to enter and join His Church.
