The Bride, The Body, and the Church: Part XIII

If ministry, let us use it in our ministering, he who teaches in teaching, he who exhorts in exhortation, he who gives with liberality, he who leads with diligence, he who shows mercy with cheerfulness. Let love be without hypocrisy. Abhor what is evil. Cling to what is good. Romans 12:7-9

Jesus commissioned us to go and do that which He called us to do and not to just sit and listen! The world doesn't need another spectator sport or faith-based daycare for those who come to church just to listen to the only one doing his part!

The first church was together in one accord waiting on the promise of God to be filled with the Spirit and to obey the commission! Immediately upon their infilling they went out into the streets and exercised their God-given gift of tongues and 3000 were saved. They didn't sit around talking about it or discussing whether or not it was a valid gift, they acted on it and went out in faith!

With 3000 new converts and their families, the body of Christ didn't have time for anything but the care and feeding of their new friends who were saved. Each day they listened to the apostles teaching and had the breaking of bread, and fellowship! This is the ministry of Jesus!

Be kindly affectionate to one another with brotherly love in honor giving preference to one another; not lagging in diligence, fervent in Spirit serving the Lord, rejoicing in hope, patient in tribulation, continuing steadfastly in prayer; distributing to the needs of the saints given to hospitality. Romans 12:10-13
