Commitment: “means going well beyond a good reason to quit” –Rudy MaGlashan
Goal: your commitment to the local church is the greatest evidence of your love for Christ.
If this is true, then the obverse is also true: your lack of commitment to the local church is the greatest evidence that you are not committed to Christ.
Consider these facts about the Church in the New Testament
1. Church Is Not About Us: Its About God and Others!
· Jesus came to build his church
· Jesus loved the church
Selfish ambition means wanting all for me, and conceit means wanting my way for all.
· Jesus died for the church
2. Biblical support for commitment
Three Types of Church Members
Those who were committed
Those who weren’t committed
those who should be committed
· The Church is Christ’s bride
Acts 2:
· The Holy Spirit has given gifts to the church for the mutual edification of the body.

· The book of Acts is the history of the Holy Spirit building local churches around the world.
· The epistles are all letters to local churches
The final book of the Bible, Revelation, is the story of God’s final salvation of the church
