The Church, A Pillar of the Truth

Takeaway: The church is called, like a pillar, to uphold the truth. We do this as we confess our beliefs before the world. Our beliefs are fundamental to who we are as Christians, but they are not merely our personal convictions. They are a worshipful response to the reality of Christ. The confession in our passage reminds us that the content of our faith is Christ. What is dangerous about a church that does not make its confession of faith public? What happens to a church when it is known for beliefs that don’t really have anything to do with Christ?
