“…the LORD hath chosen Zion; He hath desired it for
His habitation. This is My rest for ever: here will I dwell; for I have
desired it.”
Psalms 132: 13-14
The Church of the Living God is not an organization founded by man and
inhabited by those who choose to join it’s ranks. God’s Church on this
earth (and in Heaven) is the Spiritual body of the Lord Jesus Christ
consisting of those whom He has chosen for Himself before the foundation
of the world, Christ Himself being the Head. Zion (His Church), is the
result of His desire and in Her He dwells forever. Although the masses
claim It’s name and fame, only those whom He has redeemed by His blood,
sanctified by His Spirit and called by His grace are members of His
glorious body. Only those in whom Christ The Lord dwells live and enjoy
the blessings of His grace. It is in Zion that He reveals Himself and
is worshipped and praised. The very existence of Zion is the evidence
of God’s sovereign grace and mercy. Impossible for the world to comprehend
the glory of Christ in Zion and appreciate It’s beauty, they try to
mimic It with form and ceremony which is a reproach to God. The true
Church of God is but little esteemed by man, yea, even scorned by religion,
yet It is indeed desired and chosen by God and there will He rest forever.
“I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for them which Thou
hast given Me; for they are Thine. And all Mine are Thine, and Thine
are Mine; and I am glorified in them.” John 17:9-10
