The Church is God’s, and He has shown us how important it is to Him by sending His Son to die in the purchase of it. To this church also does God instruct us to direct our loyalty: in essence, God calls all believers to be faithful to a local body. In what ways can that happen?
Six Important Ways We Can Be Faithful to Your Local Church
