[Ephesians 1:15-23]

God
is the One and Only.
He
gave to the world faith in the Trinity through his Word.
This faith is an eternal Rock(Mt 16:16-17).
The Church does not refer to a building but to the congregation.
The congregation is the Church,
and the Church is the Body of Jesus Christ(Ep 1:21-23).
Jesus Christ did not come to the world according to His own will(Jn 12:49),
but came to fulfill the will of God the Father(Jn 6:38-39).
The will of God the Father is that the world may be saved
through the Son, whom He has sent (Jn 3:16).
Those who are saved will be taken up to heaven(Jn 14:1-3)
so that they too may receive glory along with the Son of God,
and remain before the throne of heaven forever.
They will be superior even to angels in heaven(Rm 8:16-17).
The congregational church does not refer to a democracy.
It only refers to theocentricism.
The Church serves Jesus Christ as its Head and thus becomes His Body.
Anthropocentricism can suggest greater respect and become the head of a church.
But the Holy Spirit guides His Church even today(Ac 2:28).
◌ Doctrine teaches a conviction based on anthropocentricism.
However, faith seeks only theocentricism.
It follows God’s will alone.
◌ The Church is not a democracy.
Only God’s will is the truth.
Only Jesus Christ is the life.
◌ Through democracy, which is anthropocentricism,
those who belong to the world speak only of the world, and the world listens to them.
Those who belong to God hear only the truth.
※ Sungrak Church stands on the Rock of faith, which is theocentricism.
This is the Church of Jesus Christ
which the gates of Hades can never prevail against.
