Do you know the name ‘Church of God’?

I’d like to explain to you about the name “Church of God.” Denominations such as the Catholic church, the Presbyterian, the Methodist and the Baptist, use a variety of names: “Church of Lord’s love”, “Church of great light”, “Church of Christ”, and so on, to advertise themselves. However, “Church of God” was only the name of the Church which Jesus had established 2,000 years ago. I was curious about how many times the name “Church of God” would appear in the Bible. And I searched it on the internet. In the Bible, the name “Church of God” appears nine times in total. Let’s Check it out.

1 Corinthians 1:2 To the [church of God] in Corinth, to those sanctified in Christ Jesus and called to be holy, together with all those everywhere who call on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ- their Lord and ours:

1 Corinthians 10:32 Do not cause anyone to stumble, whether Jews, Greeks or the [church of God]

1 Corinthians 11:22 Don’t you have homes to eat and drink in? Or do you despise the [church of God] and humiliate those who have nothing? What shall I say to you? Shall I praise you for this? Certainly not!

1 Corinthians 15:9 For I am the least of the apostles and do not even deserve to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the [church of God].

2 Corinthians 1:1 Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, and Timothy our brother, To the [church of God] in Corinth, together with all the saints throughout Achaia.

Galatians 1:13 For you have heard of my previous way of life in Judaism, how intensely I persecuted the [church of God] and tried to destroy it.

1 Thessalonians 2:14 For you, brothers, became imitators of God’s churches [church of God] in Judea, which are in Christ Jesus: You suffered from your own countrymen the same things those churches suffered from the Jews

1 Timothy 3:5 (If anyone does not know how to manage his own family, how can he take care of God’s church [church of God]?)

1 Timothy 3:15 if I am delayed, you will know how people ought to conduct themselves in God’s household, which is the church of the living God [church of God], the pillar and the foundation of the truth.

Some say that the Church was called “Church of God”, because God established it. However, it is undeniable that the church that Jesus established was called “Church of God.” It is confessed by Paul in Galatians 1:13 that he had intensely persecuted the Church of God when he was in Judaism. It means that Christian who believed in Jesus were the members of the Church of God. Apostle Paul wrote as follows in Corinthians “To the church of God in Corinth, to those sanctified in Christ Jesus and called to be holy, together with all those everywhere who call on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ-their Lord and ours:” One interesting point here is that Apostle Paul referred to the church in Corinth as “Church of God” in Corinth. It is because depending on where the church of God was, it was called “Church of God” in Corinth or in Galatia and so on.

But can any church called “Church of God” become the church that Jesus had established? No! Some churches also use the name “Church of God” but they have different teachings from God’s one. Then, what were the teachings in the Church of God? In 1 Corinthians 11, we can see what ceremony is held within the Church of God.

1 Corinthians 11:22-24 Don’t you have homes to eat and drink in? Or do you despise the church of God and humiliate those who have nothing? What shall I say to you? Shall I praise you for this? Certainly not! For I received from the Lord what I also passed on to you: The Lord Jesus, on the night he was betrayed, took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and said, “This is my body, which is for you; do this in remembrance of me.”

This scene reveals that the Church of God must have the new covenant where Jesus blessed his disciples with bread and wine on the night he was betrayed. What is this truth of the New Covenant?

Luke 22:7-8, 19-20 Then came the day of Unleavened Bread on which the Passover lamb had to be sacrificed. Jesus sent Peter and John, saying, “Go and make preparations for us to eat the Passover.”… And he took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them, saying, “This is my body given for you; do this in remembrance of me.” In the same way, after the supper he took the cup, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is poured out for you.”

It was on the Passover day when Jesus established the New Covenant through the bread and wine on the night he was betrayed. In other words, the Church of God must have the truth of the New Covenant: Passover. Among all the churches in this world, it is only the World Mission Society Church of God (WMSCOG) that keeps the Passover of the New Covenant with the name “Church of God” This is very reason I chose to attend the World Mission Society Church of God. Would you not also want to receive the blessing of eternal life together with me in the World Mission Society Church of God that Jesus had established?

    2000 years ago, Jesus established church which named “Church of God”. there was no other church except “Church of God”. and “Church of God” had the feasts of the New Covenant that Jesus Himself taught. Today, there are various churches around the world. however, Church which God allows salvation is only “Church of God”. Come to “Church of God” and Keep the New Covenant.

    [GodtheMother❤️]Name by men or name by God, which church do you want to go to? I want to go to the church named by God. Church of God is named by God without any doubt.

  3. claire says:

    Even there are many churches in the world, only one church is true church which was established by Jesus. As above posting, The church that apostles in the age of Early Church attended in is the Church of God. Therefore, the name of the true church has to be the Church of God among many churches.

  4. Eun a says:

    There are many churches in the world. However, the only church established with the blood of God is the Church of God.

  5. margo says:

    I can not find the name “Church of Lord’s love”, “Church of great light”, “Church of Christ” and so on. Only find the name of church is “church of God”. God didn’t give another nickname of church except church of God.

  6. Y.H. Cheon says:

    2000 years ago, Jesus established the Church, calling “Church of God”. the name of church in the Bible’s record is only “Church of God”.  and  Church of God kept the Feasts of the New Covenant that Jesus taught and commanded. Today too, in order to be saved, we should find Church of God where keep the feasts of the New Covenant.

  7. Andrew says:

    Thank you for father and mother, found truth church!

  8. Sarah-Kim says:

    Right, only the World Mission Society Church of God keeps the Passover and has been fulfilled all the prophecies of the Bible among all churches in the world. So then, where should we go except this Church to receive eternal salvation? Let’s stay here and have faith to Father and Mother till the end!!

  11. Ami says:

    Amen  I was surprised  that the name of the church of God is in the Bible and was the name of the church in the age of the Apostles when I first listened it.

     

  12. James Heo says:

    I am proud and happy to be in the church of God which is–as the name indicates–established by God himself by coming as man for the second time.

  13. love2aj says:

    Though there are many kinds of churches, it is few that keep the New Covenant as Jesus established. WMSCOG is the church which try to follow the teaching of the Bible through gospel and support.

    • Timothy says:

      Baptist Church, Catholic Church, Anglican Church and so on. All there names are not written in the Bible. But the Church of God is the only name written in the Bible.

    • Haley says:

      It can’t be the “Church of God” like apostolic age by using its name simply. Its church must have the truth established by Jesus, New Covenant. It draws my attention that WMSCOG keeps all decrees and law of Christ perfectly. Especially tge Passover of the New Covenant. As everyone know, bad religion can lead our spirit to destruction. However I have felt warm and cozy in WMSCOG. My spirit got stable after meeting WMSCOG. I love it:)

    The name of the Early Church was ‘Church of God’. Its truth was Passover new covenant , Sabbath on Seventh day, and covering on woman’s head. These are written in the Bible obviously.

    • Timothy says:

      Amen. In this last age, only the World Mission Society Church of God has all those truth such as Sabbath day, Passover and Veil regulation.

  15. saphe says:

    Church of God try to follow Jesus’s example and teachings in the Bible. Sabbath on Sat, Passover the New Covenant, Covering woman’s head, the faith about the Holy Spirit and the Bride, .. all these come from the Bible only, not man’s doctrine. I really hope all people see the Bible with sincere eye and faith. Then you will get the truth of salvation and Christ.

  16. irenetheron says:

    The World Mission Society Church of God has inherited the faith of Early Church established by Jesus and that’s the reason why members of WMSCOG keep the feasts of new covenant , not old covenant. Also, they are making every efforts to revive the faith of Early Church, by correcting wrong customs of existing churches.

    • Timothy says:

      Amen. All the feast of the New covenant has been kept only in the World Mission Society Church of God. 🙂

  17. Anonymous says:

    There are numerous sects and sectarianism in the world. Among a lot of denominations WMSCOG are growing significantly, preaching God the Father and God the Mother. Only the Spirit and the bride can give the eternal life to us!

  18. Felarta says:

    What is the church where Jesus Himself established and His disciples of the Early Church went to? The Bible testifies that it is the Church of God. (1 Cor. 1:1) The Church of God keeps the Passover (Mt.26:26) and the Sabbath Day (Luk.4:16). Please receive Eternal Life and full of God’s blessings from the Church of God. 😀

  19. Timothy says:

    Wow~!!! Are there 9 times, the name of the Church of God in the Bible? It is true that only the World Mission Society Church of God follows all the teachings of Jesus which were kept 2,000 years ago. GBU~!

  20. Evamah says:

    The church that keeps God’s commandments following the example of Christ is the true church that leads us to salvation. Only the Church of God follows all the words of the Bible in the whole world. Thanks to Father and Mother for leading me to the Church of God. 🙂
