Chris.
If we are True Believers part of our life is
lived out in Fellowship with Christ’s Family, which is the Church. One of
the Words used in the Epistles of the New Testament to define the Church is the
Family of God. This means that our Church life should have meaning, not only
for us, but also for the other people that we are in Fellowship with.
