The Christian church is a society of sinners. It is the only society in the world, membership in which is based upon the single qualification that the candidate shall be unworthy of membership. -Morrison
Acts 2:41 Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls.
Notice what it said in Acts; they “… gladly received his word” (They got saved.) Then they were baptized. Then they “were added”. What were they added to—the church. Why—for accountability.
Friend, God is interested in people. He is interested most importantly in their souls. However, He is also interested in their success here on earth. Not success defined man’s way of money and materialism, but success defined His way. Summed up it can be; a life that not only has seen its need for salvation but also has recognized its need for sanctification. A life being set a part for God’s use. A life that produces fruit. A life following God’s Word, doing His work, His way. So, count me in! Will you be counted in as well?
