In the first century
A.D.
Jesus Christ built His church
made up of
His people. The New Testament teaches us that
Jesus left Heaven,
came down to Earth
and was slain
and resurrected,
so that we can die, leave Earth and go to live with Him
in Heaven
forever.
We have all sinned and fallen short of the Glory of God and
the wages of sin is death.
Jesus came here and
suffered
the
penalty we should have
so we could be forgiven of our sins
and have the hope of eternal life.
Heaven is a prepared place
for a prepared people. The New Testament scriptures teach
us how the first century Christians lived
and worshipped God.
Using only the word of God,
adding nothing to, nor
taking anything away,
we can learn how the faithful first century Christians lived
acceptable lives before God.
By patterning our lives and worship after the approved examples
we read of in the New Testament
we can be assured that we are living a pleasing life before God.
We at the church of
Christ at Granby strive to be the same as the first century church
of Christ. The Bible teaches us
the doctrines and worship of men are vain and that
we must seek God's righteousness instead of our own.
Our worship must be in spirit and in truth.
We wear no manmade names,
we teach no manmade doctrines,
we participate in no manmade worship,
striving to glorify God
in both name and
deed
through
diligent obedience
to His will.
We know that if we
seek Biblical authority for all that we practice,
believing what the first Christians believed,
living how they lived,
teaching only what they taught, and worshipping God how they
worshipped, we can be today just what they were then;
Christians only.
We share a great joy
in our hope in Jesus Christ and it is our
sincere desire to share this joy with everyone.
All are invited to come join
our family in Christ
and learn more of the
New Testament church of Christ.
