The church of Christ founded by Jesus Christ, the head, the body, the patron, and was planed, patterned and purposed by Him, the Almighty God who came to this world by summoning Himself to be born by Mary in the manger. He demonstrated to us, His church what love is all about. By His sufferings, His torture by whom He came to save and died on the cross, shed His precious blood for the remission of our sins. He was burial and on the third day as He had predicted before the foundation of the world that He will rise from the dead which He did. He starts His church with the twelve apostles, whom He “set apart” even though one of the twelve was a traitor also predicted before the foundation of the world that Judas Iscariot whom Satan used will betray Him. The church through the power of the Holy Spirit grew to unlimited number of people by the hands of the apostles from Jerusalem to the whole world.The Churches were persecuted in so many ways known to Satan. This persecution still goes on by the so called Satan the lawless man
The facts that the Almighty God, your creator, Your redeemer, creator of heavens and earth who “SET APART” a day for you to honour Him and who made you special, peculiar, sanctified , hallowed, made holy and separated you before the foundation of the world. Who married you to Himself by the blood of Jesus Christ for eternity.
God Almighty does not want to share His believers with any other person or thing, that is why He set you apart and made you:
Holy: set apart or pure
Hallowed: set apart
Sanctified:set apart:
Severe: set apart
If you want to know the deep meaning of the another words, please read this passage from Exodus 30.22-33. God says He will not share His glory with anything man or woman Isaiah 42:8
If only we believers know the deep meaning of these two words set apart and the reason that God want His because to be separated from the world that we are in, and the love that God had for us to have come to the earth in human form as Jesus Christ, who died on the cross, shed His precious blood for the remission of our sins and had set apart us before the foundation of the world. He instituted His feasts days for us as a way of separating us from the world. When the Israelis celebrated these feast, they killed animals, why because Christ had not come to the world and died on the cross then, which brought an end to ordinances and rituals, but the feasts still continue without the killing of animals which God had determined to use as signs of a “set apart”for all believers of Jesus Christ. To show to the world that we are special, peculiar, very important to God and God alone. It is a way of telling the world that we are a set apart people of God.
When the Israelis were in Egypt, God severed ( set apart) from all the plaques that almost wiped away the Egyptians.
He even made you a “set apart” as an example in the world for His future purposes, which is fulfilled in us Christians the a “set apart” people of the Almighty God for the New Jerusalem that will come down from heaven whose light will be God. Who has twelve foundations where the names of the twelve apostles were forever engraved, it has twelve gates on which the names of the twelve tribes of Israel were permanently engraved. This is the church of Jesus Christ known as the NEW JERUSALEM where the redeemed will be for eternity in the book of revelation chapter 21.1-27. These are the things that the Almighty Lord set apart
