I was 'following links' while reading online about different views as to what constitutes The Church. I came across a Messianic Jewish site where I read the following quote.

"The Church...

In the NT, the word ekklesia refers to the group of "called out" people (from every tribe and tongue) in covenant with God by means of their trust in Jesus Christ. In particular, this ekklesia is composed of ONLY those people who confess their faith that Jesus (Yeshua) is none other than God (Adonai) come in the flesh, who died as a sinless substitutionary sacrifice for their sins, was buried, and resurrected from the dead."

The author went on to say that it wasn't through rituals, keeping of 'laws', assemblying in buildings, or any works one could do; but that salvation came through Jesus Christ (The Messiah) and Him alone...(for by grace are ye saved, and that not of yourselves...it's a Gift from God.)

It blessed me because just this last week I met a Messianic Jew and had the oportunity to converse with him while preparing his taxes. It was an edifying experience and also a chance for learning firsthand some of the things they hold to concerning Jewish traditions.

“But God commendeth His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us,”
