Today I want to talk about what the Lord has conceived the church. I believe that God did not create a church differently than the rest of the living, created by it. And if we look at any living creation of God, we easily notice that it itself has a program and potential for development. If the external conditions are favorable, then everything created by God grows and develops itself and everything we are working on is only the conditions in which we grow something. Ap. Paul compares the local church with the planting of some cultivated plant: I planted, Apollo watered, but God increased; 1 Cor. 3: 6. It is important for us to see this picture and understand how the Church is growing and developing, so that we would have a faith, so that we would not try to “pull the hippo from the swamp”, do not try to “cultivate”, because this is a matter of God, but our work - our work - To plant and water, work on conditions, so that they would be most favorable for the growth and development of the church. Scripture also says that we are the living stones from which the church is arranged and we need to learn how to notice the motives that come from the life of God in us. There are several types of motives in us: we can be encouraged by the necessity, as it is written: the worker works for himself, because he forces him to that his mouth. Prot. 16:26; We can be driven by the desire to prove something to someone (i.e., ambitions), we can push us to the action of human passion (and not necessarily sinful), but we can also be moved by motivations from the Spirit of God and we need to learn how to understand What drives us. The same Apostle that compares the church with a cultural plant also speaks of it as a body, comparing the church with the human body. And it is important to learn how to treat your own bodies correctly in order to have the relationship to the Church about which the Apostle writes. The truth is that we do not trust our own bodies because we often abuse them. But if a person learns to live in freedom granted to Christ, learns not to abuse the pleasures associated with the body, then he opens up that the body, as the psalmist says “is marvelously arranged”, because I am marvelously arranged. Ps. 138: 14. If we learn to trust the motives of the body, it turns out that it does not need to be forced to engage in physical education, because it itself loves to move and you only need to follow this motivation, overcoming laziness, it itself can choose the products that he needs to eat if we exclude all sorts of Artificial “taste amplifiers”, and if we eat normally and move enough, then with sleep we will be all right! And it turns out that the body can perfectly regulate all these processes, if we have the right aspiration in our souls - to God. When the soul is healed from rebellion through repentance and faith in Christ, the body can live in freedom, choosing what he really needs, but we need to learn how to cooperate with our own body, which we have tormented and mercilessly exploited for many years. But it is important for us to go in this direction in order to survive on our own experience that the body can be good, that it is not “sinful flesh”, it is an instrument and how we use it shows it how much we really trust God. Scripture teaches us that from the moment of our appeal to Christ, we bring him not only our souls, but also our bodies: you are bought by a road at a price. Therefore, glorify God both in your bodies and in your souls, which are the essence of God. 1 Cor. 6:20. Do you know that your bodies are the temple of the Holy Spirit living in you that you have from God, and you are not your own? 1 Cor. 6:19. Agree that far from immediately we learn to trust the Lord so much in order to see in our own body not a “stumbling block”, not what we have to fight, but a vessel in which the Spirit of God lives. This is difficult for us, because as we said in the past ministry, the life of God and death, and a new creation and dilapidated live in us at the same time, but faith teach us what AP writes about. John: And the light shines in the darkness, and darkness did not declare it. In. 1: 5. We need to believe in the victory of the light in ourselves, because the light is stronger than darkness. This is important not only because if we succeed in this, then we come to great freedom and are filled with gratitude to God for our own bodies, but also because without moving in this direction we cannot understand how the Lord arranged His Church. People, coming to the church, are waiting for them to be given a certain “set of rules”, fulfilling which they will go to heaven. But if this happens, then often this set of rules becomes hell here, when trying to follow it. It is no accident that the apostles, giving the first church the instruction of piety limited themselves to several points: to refrain from idolatry and blood, and ungalled, and fornication, and not to do what you do not want to yourself. Acts. 15:29. AP. John generally wrote that everything we need to know about piety is inside us from the very moment of our appeal to Christ: the anointing that you received from Him is in you,?
