Day 31: A Life Laid Down

Wherever you have permanent relationships, there must be a covenant, there must be a life laid down. See, the body of Christ is united in a covenant made through the blood of Jesus. And if He laid down His life for us, John says, then we ought also to lay down our lives for one another. The church founders when it’s made up of people who do not lay down their lives. You can have all the principles of church leadership and church government and church discipline, but if it consists of people who have not laid down their lives, those principles will not work. I don’t think really we need better principles. I think we need better people.
