I already belong to a church. Doesn’t that make a difference?

   The Bible does say not to forsake the assembling of yourselves (Hebrews 10:24-25).  A local church that follows and teaches God’s Word will make a difference.  God fearing and Bible believing people can be a great encouragement and help for Christians to grow and face life’s trials.  But church membership does not assure one of salvation.  Just because you stand in a garage doesn’t make you a car does it? Each of us has a personal responsibility to follow God’s Word and not just be told we are alright because of church membership.  You must investigate the Word of God yourself, respond to it, and experience being "Born Again" (John 3:3,16).  The process isn’t hard to understand and must be done in sincerity. Where will you spend eternity?
