list of reasons why we need the Church- be able to apply them to- Why is it not enough to "go it alone", be spiritual but not religious", or to create your own personal spirituality." |
We need the Church because: *God wants us to come as members of his family. The Church was made for that purpose *We have to hear the Good News from others. no one can preach the Gospel to him or herself *Humans are social in nature. We need the encouragement of others that the Church provides * Worship of God is communal in nature. It is the whole Church who celebrates the liturgy on earth. Christ is present with the Church in worship, acting as the Head of his Mystical Body. * By participating in the Eucharist, we unite ourselves with Christ's self offering * AS the Scripture teaches, Christ uses the Church's liturgy to prepare you to see him in one another and to love one another despite the differences of race, gender and personality * the Church is structured and instituted by Christ to provide a means of grace through the Sacraments that guide us to our eternal destiny
