Lesson Five
God's
Family
1. (Acts 16:29-33 NIV) "The jailer called for lights, rushed
in and fell trembling before Paul and Silas. {30} He then brought them
out and asked, ‘Sirs, what must I do to be saved?’ {31} They
replied, ‘Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved--you and
your household.’ {32} Then they spoke the word of the Lord to him and
to all the others in his house. {33} At that hour of the night the
jailer took them and washed their wounds; then immediately he and all
his family were baptized."

|
We need to believe in Jesus Christ and be
baptized to be saved. |
2. (1 Corinthians 12:12-13 NIV) "The body is a unit, though
it is made up of many parts; and though all its parts are many, they
form one body. So it is with Christ. {13} For we were all baptized by
one Spirit into one body--whether Jews or Greeks, slave or free--and we
were all given the one Spirit to drink." and (1 Corinthians 12:27
NIV) "Now you are the body of Christ, and each one of you is a part
of it."
|
|
When you are baptized and become a Christian you
are a part of the body of Christ (the church). |
3. (Ephesians 4:4-5 NIV) "There is one body and one Spirit--
just as you were called to one hope when you were called-- {5} one Lord,
one faith, one baptism;"
|
|
There are many bodies (churches). |
4. (Colossians 1:18 NIV) "And he is the head of the body, the
church; he is the beginning and the firstborn from among the dead, so
that in everything he might have the supremacy."
|
|
Jesus is the head of the church, which is His
body. |
5. Romans 12:5 (NIV) "so in Christ we who are many form one
body, and each member belongs to all the others." and Ephesians
5:30 (NIV) "for we are members of his body."
|
|
Christians are a part of His body (the church). |

We must first believe that Jesus is the Son of
God sent to redeem humankind from our sins. We must then repent of
(stop doing) our sins. We then need to confess Christ as Lord and
submit to Him by being baptized (immersed in water) for the
forgiveness of our sins. With our baptism into Christ we receive
the gift of the Holy Spirit. We are thereby add to the church and
expected to be faithful participants in the church.
