Coming Into The House

But as for me, I will come into thy house in the multitude of thy mercy: and in thy fear will I worship toward thy holy temple. thy holy...: Heb. the temple of thy holiness - Psalms 5:7

    What a great honor and privilege God has bestowed upon his church to come together at the appointed time to worship Him, as Christ our Lord is revealed to us through the preaching of the Gospel! There is no generation gap when it comes to public worship. It is believing parents’ responsibility to teach their children of Christ at home and to make sure that they are in the presence of the preaching of the Gospel as well. The preaching of the Gospel is the means that God has ordained to save his people. Teaching and rearing our children in the things of God is needful and very important, but making sure they are under the ministry of the Gospel is vital for them as well as ourselves.

    The church coming together to worship Christ is a joy to the saints. I was glad when they said unto me, Let us go into the house of the Lord(Ps 122:1). The church rejoices in Christ and the truth. We will rejoice in thy salvation, and in the name of our God we will set up our banners: the Lord fulfill all thy petitions (Ps 20:5). To hear of his love, mercy and grace is the desire of our hearts.

    The assembling of ourselves together in his name is also a solemn thing. He is the Lord God of glory—we are his people. He is revered among his church. His Word is truth, light and life. The worship of Christ is not a frivolous and trivial thing. The position of the believing sinner is one of humbleness of mind and heart before him who is glorious in holiness. Who is like unto thee, O Lord, among the gods? who is like thee, glorious in holiness, fearful in praises, doing wonders? (Ex 15:11).

    Not only is public worship a privilege, joy and a solemn thing, we are graciously instructed to meet in his name. Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching (Heb 10:24-25). When the church meets to worship Christ in the preaching and hearing of the Gospel it is a special time. For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them (Mt 18:20).
