A group of like minded people fellowshipping and worshipping at a church. The church is a community of believers who confess Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour.
2 To the church of God that is in Corinth, to those sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints together with all those who in every place call upon the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, both their Lord and ours:
Acts 2
38 And Peter said to them, “Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.39 For the promise is for you and for your children and for all who are far off, everyone whom the Lord our God calls to himself.”40 And with many other words he bore witness and continued to exhort them, saying, “Save yourselves from this crooked generation.”41 So those who received his word were baptized, and there were added that day about three thousand souls.42 And they devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and the prayers.
Acts 7
38 This is the one who was in the congregation in the wilderness with the angel who spoke to him at Mount Sinai, and with our fathers. He received living oracles to give to us.
Exodus 19
3 while Moses went up to God. The LORD called to him out of the mountain, saying, “Thus you shall say to the house of Jacob, and tell the people of Israel:4 You yourselves have seen what I did to the Egyptians, and how I bore you on eagles' wings and brought you to myself.5 Now therefore, if you will indeed obey my voice and keep my covenant, you shall be my treasured possession among all peoples, for all the earth is mine;6 and you shall be to me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation. These are the words that you shall speak to the people of Israel.”7 So Moses came and called the elders of the people and set before them all these words that the LORD had commanded him.
Genesis 12
1 Now the LORD said to Abram, “Go from your country and your kindred and your father's house to the land that I will show you.2 And I will make of you a great nation, and I will bless you and make your name great, so that you will be a blessing.3 I will bless those who bless you, and him who dishonors you I will curse, and in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.”
1 Chronicles 28
19 Всичко това 'каза Давид', Господ ми даде да разбера, като написа с ръката Си всичките подробности на чертежа.19 При това, Господ ще предаде Израиля с тебе в ръката на филистимците; и утре ти и синовете ти ще бъдете при мене; и Господ ще предаде множеството на израилтяните в ръката на филистимците.19 Защото Господ смири Юда поради Израилевия цар Ахаз; понеже той беше развратил Юда и нечествувал много против Господа.19 Но понеже юдеите се възпротивиха 'на това', принудих се да се отнеса до Кесаря, а не че имах да обвиня в нещо народа си.19 Проклет ще бъдеш при влизането си и проклет ще бъдеш при излизането си.19 третият ред: лигирий, агат и аметист;19 Всички, които те познаваха между племената, се удивиха на тебе; ужас си станал, и не ще те има до века.19 И наименува онова място Ветил; а преди името на града беше Луз.19 Колкото пъти минава ще ви хваща; Защото всяка заран ще минава, Денем и нощем; И само слуха 'за нея' да чуе някой, ще се изплаши.19 Топаз етиопски не ще се сравни с нея; Не ще се оцени тя с чисто злато.19 Идете, прочее, научете всичките народи, и кръщавайте ги в името на Отца и Сина и Светия Дух,19 а да принесете жертва чрез огън, за всеизгаряне Господу: два юнеца, един овен и седем едногодишни агнета, които да бъдат без недостатък.19 Който обработва земята си ще се насити с хляб, А който следва суетни неща ще го постигне сиромашия.
Matthew 16
13 Now when Jesus came into the district of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, “Who do people say that the Son of Man is?”14 And they said, “Some say John the Baptist, others say Elijah, and others Jeremiah or one of the prophets.”15 He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?”16 Simon Peter replied, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.”17 And Jesus answered him, “Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jonah! For flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but my Father who is in heaven.18 And I tell you, you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.19 I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.”20 Then he strictly charged the disciples to tell no one that he was the Christ.
