Whose idea is it anyway? To some people church is extremely important, others could care less, and yet there are those who absolutely avoid it. This tract is designed to provide you with answers to some of the most basic questions about church. Our goal is to answer questions succinctly from the Bible, and provide other passages of Scripture for further study.
The Bible is God’s Word. It is inspired and preserved for us so that we can know exactly what God wants us to know about life’s major questions. These questions about church are no exemption. In fact the Bible has so much to say about church, that this small tract could not possibly cover it all. Therefore, If you are sincere in desiring to know what the Bible teaches then this tract may be of some help. Your approach to God and His Word will either aid or hinder you spiritually.
1. Whose idea is it anyway?
Jesus Christ. In Matthew 16:18 Jesus said: “...I will build my church…” In Ephesians 2:20 we see that Christ is the ‘chief cornerstone’ of the church. This means that Jesus is the foundation of the church. The apostle Paul teaches us that Christ is the head of the church in Ephesians 5:23. Jesus is the founder and head (or Lord) of the church. (see 1 Peter 2:6-7).
