Jesus Is LORD , Even Over A Church Of Sinners

QUESTION RECEIVED:

God said for us come to Him if we are tired. I did come to God and I ACCEPT JESUS CHRIST as my Savior. Since I joined a church I put myself to work hard and ask questions about sin. That church did not preach about sin often. The preach more about prosperity and the social gospel. Being baptized can not save me. Their is long work after to become a better Christian. Why are there so many problems in the church: hypocrisy, people fighting for position a lot of corruption.


Peace unto you Brother. You are stressed. Jesus is LORD!
Baptism does not save you-neither does your actions. It is all on the LORD.
What is the only qualifier you must have to be a Christian? Be a sinner.
God justifies us through the death of Jesus Christ on the cross. He paid for our sins so we can have peace with God, forgiveness of sins and eternal life.
Now the Holy Spirit fully sanctifies us. Yet we were sinners. Now we are forgiven sinners who look to be more holy. This further holiness or sanctification comes from the LORD, not from our flesh. He in His mercy and grace deals with us.
God deals with sinners-Hallelujah!

Romans 5:7-9
English Standard Version (ESV)
"7For one will scarcely die for a righteous person—though perhaps for a good person one would dare even to die— 8but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. 9Since, therefore, we have now been justified by his blood, much more shall we be saved by him from the wrath of God."

Share the gospel even in your own church you are concerned about. If the teaching is wrong go to mature Christians in the church and pray with them how to help. If the doctrine is wrong The Holy Spirit and the Word will verify this. Then you can confidently take the right steps. Relax Brother. Jesus is LORD!!
