How Do I Become a Member?

We’ve been talking the last few weeks about what it means to be a member of the church. We have come to discover it’s more than a roll call. It’s a spiritual buy-in to Jesus Christ.

We learned in week one of our series that the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved. Acts 2:47. He added to an assembly that provided protection and community, but more importantly, this salvation:

Delivers from the penalties of the Messianic judgment.

Delivers from the evils which obstruct the reception of the Messianic deliverance.

You have to be saved. But what does that mean?

Sin is not just bad behavior; it’s a trespass against God, our neighbors, and ourselves. Sin is more than bad thoughts; it’s the position of being separated from God. Regretfully, people don’t know they are separated from God.

It’s a change of view.
