New Testament  Church of Christ

Christ's Only Church

Our Mission

Christ gave Christians a mission, (Matthew 28:19-20) to go and preach and teach the world about salvation.The world will not be saved without the truth. Only true Christians can understand God's word (the bible) because it was written to his people (Christians). Christians have obeyed God and do His will. (Hebrews 5:8-9) They have received the gift of the Holy Spirit when they were added to the Lord's church (Church of Christ, Romans 16:16) through baptism.(Acts 2:37-38; Mark 16:15-16; Colossians 1:13) The Holy Spirit helps Christians to understand God's word.

Churches of Christ, Christ's one and only church,  have a distinct plea, we plead for people to go back beyond all religious movements and teachings of Satan, through human beings, to the will of God that is revealed in the New Testament. We plead for people to be Christians only. Jesus said,"The seed is the word of God." Luke 8:11 Just as surely as a planted acorn will produce only an oak, so God's word will produce only Christians and nothing more. Acts 11:26 We invite your earnest consideration to this plea and invite you to come and learn the truth about salvation!

 

Where Do You Plan to Spend Eternity? 

People do not reach heaven accidentally, nor by some way contrary to the Lord's will. We should all give diligence to make our calling and election sure or none will enter in through the gate into the city. (2 Peter 1:5-11.) The idea that one can shut his eyes and select some religion by chance and certainly be right is a foolish idea. It is possible to be wrong in religion, and it is very serious to be wrong in the sight of God. "Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock: and the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock. And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand: and the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it." (Matt. 7:21-27.)

We must all stand before the judgment seat of Christ to give an account of the deeds done in the body, and these deeds will be classed as good or bad. (2 Cor. 5:10.) There will be no other classification. We will not be the judges of our own deeds or of the deeds of others, but Christ will be the Judge, and His decisions will all be final. There will not be another field day for us to try in another race. Nothing can change the decision at that great day of judgment, and it does matter what the decision is. Eternity is involved. "Behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation." (2 Cor. 6:2.) We must all work out our own salvation with fear and trembling because it is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God. Our God is a consuming fire. (Phil. 2:12; Heb. 10:26-31; 12:29.)

People need to be warned of the danger of teaching the wrong doctrine because men, or even an angel, will stand accursed before God if he teaches a perverted gospel. (Gal. 1:6-12; Titus 3:9-11; 1 Tim. 6:3-5.) The blind followers of such teachers are also lost and need to be warned. (Matt. 15:1-4.)

Remember we have an adversary. "Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world. (1 Peter 5:8,9.) We should also know that the devil appears as an angel of light and his servants as ministers of righteousness. (2 Cor. 11:12-15.) Beware! Take heed! Be not deceived!

There is only one way – Matthew 7:13-14; Proverbs 14:12

There is only one body – Ephesians 4:4-5
