How Does the Baptist Church Help You Grow with the Bible?

“May the Lord make your love increase and overflow for each other and for everyone else, just as ours does for you. May he strengthen your hearts so that you will be blameless and holy in the presence of our God and Father when our Lord Jesus comes with all his holy ones. Finally, brothers, we instructed you how to live in order to please God, as in fact you are living. Now we ask you and urge you in the Lord Jesus to do this more and more.” -Thessalonians 3:12-13

Your spiritual life needs nourishment to grow. There is a possibility that if you will not feed your soul, you can be like the earth when it is not watered. You too will turn barren and dry. Somehow, in turn makes you desperate in searching for nourishment. One of the ways God provides for our soul is through words and this can be found in only in the Bible. Who can guide you through the living words of the Bible? The Baptist Church. This means that the Bible speaks through us here – in our relation to the Purcellville Baptist Church. The Bible via the Baptist Church is God’s way of communicating to us! This is where He communicates His will through our lives. A spiritual refreshment which can only be nurtured as the Baptist Church shares to us their understanding of the Bible. If you let the Baptist Church and their teachings in, you will renewal and guidance – if you let it in.

The Baptist Church lets you grow with other people of the same faith

“The opening of Your words gives light, imparting understanding to the simple.” (Psa. 119:130)

Such a rich presence of God’s word will greatly affect your Christian life with other members of the congregation. It will fill your heart with grace which brings the enjoyment of God. Remember this, God’s word enlightens you and your fellow churchgoers. When the word of God comes, the first thing it does is bring light into your inner being.

The Baptist Church makes the word of God become food that nourishes

“Do not work for food that spoils, but for food that endures to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give you. For on him God the Father has placed his seal of approval.” (John 6:27)

This is not like eating physical food because God’s words are not limited to helping improve physical strength. God’s words are spiritual food. It is the water, milk, bread, and meat of your spiritual life. It’s everything you need for sustenance. If you want to grow as you should as a Christian -- feed on God's word! Lastly, the word of God is unlike the words that come from the mouth of men. Because the latter may speak a lot of things and still nothing happens. But when God speaks, you become a vessel that creates and a vessel that accomplishes.

As a remainder, the next time that you are in a public place, look at the faces of the people around you. As you look you will see many who seem to have no happiness in their heart, for the face doesn’t show it. Would the God that created us, created us not to enjoy life?

Romans 8:14-16, NIV, “For those who are led by the Spirit of God are the children of God. The Spirit you received does not make you slaves, so that you live in fear again; rather, the Spirit you received brought about your adoption to sonship. And by him we cry, “Abba, Father.” The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God’s children.” Dear God, Almighty Father, thank you for touching our hearts of your fatherly love. May you grant us that grace so that we may be worthy as your sons and daughters. Oh, how great it is to be carried by you in your arms as we rest our burdens on your shoulders. How great it is to sit on your lap as you listen to every word our hearts say. Being recognized as your child alone is the greatest honor every creation of yours can have. It also brings immeasurable joy in our hearts. Guide us always Lord to follow the flock you’re leading. Be our shepherd always for every decision we make and every step we take, we need you to govern our mind

Ways That Serving the Baptist Church Can Change You

And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, 25 not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching. -Hebrews 10:24-25 A churchgoer is not meant just to go to Manassas Baptist Church on days of obligation.
