Many believers are realizing the truth about the institutional church. God is placing in the hearts of many believers who were raised to believe they must attend a large gathering and sit like a lump under a one-man-paid-pastor system that God never commanded, the truth of what the gatherings were intended to be and it is nothing like what happens in our day.
We were called to edify one another with God's Word. We were never called to sacrifice for Christ, He is the only one whose Sacrifice was worthy to cover the sin of those who trust in Him. He offered this to every man but only those who trust in Him will be saved.
We must believe in Christ desiring to be changed by HIm into a new creation. God will not live in or change anyone who believes in Him but wants to change themselves.
Ephesians 2:10
"10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them."
Anyone depending on themselves has not submitted to Christ. They have merely added His name to their own works and are not born-again.
2 Corinthians 5:17: "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new"
Christ changes us into a new creation, He continues the process of cleansing us throughout our lives until He takes us to our eternal home. It is all His work after we have trusted in Him.
Proverbs 3:5-6
"5 Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding;
6 in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight."
