"...and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it." -Mathew 16:18
Coming to church is not an essential for Gods love. But it guarantees, happiness, a home, and a loving community. Luke 23:39-43, Jesus was on a cross, next to two men, two thieves. The man on the left asked God for forgiveness. Jesus promised that man that he would be with him in paradise.
Being Christian is not defined as; ‘a person with faith whom attends church.’ Being Christian is having faith in God and following him and his ways.
