Distinctly BAPTIST Priesthood of the Believer
We are filled with the Spirit and are God’s house.1 Corinthians 3:16, 6:19, 2 Corinthians 6:16 • We are called to offer sacrifices to God. • Offer the sacrifice of accurately handling God’s Word. 1 Corinthians 3:1-3, 2 Timothy 2:15, Hebrews 5:12-14 • Offer the sacrifice of our lives.Romans 12:1-2, Galatians 2:20 • Offer the sacrifice of prayer. • Offer the sacrifice of praise & doing good.Hebrews 13:15-16
We are called to minister to those in darkness. • What happens if we lose the priesthood of the believer? • The church doesn’t function as Christ created it to. • Individuals lose their desire to minister. • Ruling elites decide what the church & individual will believe. • The church becomes an organization not a living organism. • Spiritual abuse will flourish. • More & more people walking away from Christianity.
