Christianity vs. Individualism

The Christian faith is not a religion of individualism. Today, R.C. Sproul urges us to prioritize the community into which God has placed us: the church of Jesus Christ.

Transcript

When we say the Apostles’ Creed, we say, “We believe in the communion of the saints.” Even though we are indeed individuals, Christianity is not a religion of individualism. Whenever God deals with me as a person, as a private individual, and He redeems my soul, privately and individually, He immediately places me in a group. He immediately places me in a community that the New Testament calls the church. And today, the living Jerusalem in our lives is to be the visible church, where the people of God are gathered in community.
