The Bible & The New Testament Church 1 Timothy 3:15 We see the behavior and relationships in the Church House. The Description of the Church.the great concern of the Pastoral Epistles is how believers behave in their relationships to God, to each other, and to the unbelievers of the world.Timothy was in Ephesus and Paul was writing from Macedonia. Paul hoped to visit Ephesus and Timothy soon, but he was not quite sure that he would be able to leave Macedonia. Therefore, he was spelling out in some detail…• how Christian believers are to conduct themselves within the church.• how Christian believers are to behave and witness to a world that is lost and reeling under the weight of corruption and evil.This does not refer to the building of the church, but to the household of the church, to the people of the church. The church is a body of people who have committed themselves to form a family of people, a family centered around God and His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ.
The church is a family of people…• who believe in God and in His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ.• who have committed their lives to live for Christ.• who have based their lives upon the promise of eternal salvation promised by the Lord Jesus Christ.• who have committed themselves to live as a family with all other believers.
