The Holy Christian Church


And to present her (the Church) to himself as a radiant church, without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless.” Eph. 5:27 NIV
A glorious truth full of hope and joy is that Christ loved the church. (Eph. 5:25) He loved the Church, the born again body of believers over the entire world for all time, so much that He was willing to die a torturous death on Calvary’s cross to pay the penalty for their sins. A second glorious truth full of hope and joy is that He is still loving His Church, His bride, and caring for her and supporting her every day. His prayers, intercession, presence and promises are His daily acts of love for his beloved.
Our position before God is one of purity by the grace of Christ. Our position on earth is called to be one of purity as well. Paul says we are to “walk worthy of our calling” or to “walk worthy of the Lord”. We don’t walk worthy in order to be made worthy; Christ made us worthy. We are to walk worthy in order to proclaim our love of our Beloved and to be an ornament of beauty in this world for our Savior Jesus Christ.

Almighty God, Thank You for making us worthy of heaven through Jesus Christ and help us to walk worthy of His Name. Amen.
