Chris.
Jesus Christ has come to cause the Gentiles to give Glory to God. God is Glorified by all that the Lord Jesus does in our lives as we respond to Him. There is no virtue in just simply going to Church if our lives are not open and responsive to God. We need to attend Church fellowship in the same manner as the Early Church people in the Book of Acts. These early True Believers had commitment to the Lord first and therefore fully benefited from their “in Church” lives
