Information Related to "The Church Behind The Good News"
| Audio/Video |
The New Testament Church belongs to our heavenly Father and to His Son, Jesus Christ. Together they inspired the New Testament writers to refer to the Church as the "Church of God," which means it is a spiritual organism that belongs to God.
Thus the legal name of the church organization that publishes The Good News is "United Church of God, an International Association." Our chosen name first reflects our commitment to using the biblical name of the Church.
God expects His people to get organized and coordinate their efforts to more effectively fulfill His work. The word "United" reflects our goal of striving for spiritual unity and harmony, which the New Testament heavily emphasizes (Ephesians 4:1-16; 1 Corinthians 12).
"An International Association" reflects our representation in many countries around the world and our commitment to fulfill Christ's commission to "go into all the world and preach the good news to all creation" (Mark 16:15, NIV). We are trying to reach everyone of every race in all nations to give them the wonderful "words of eternal life" (John 6:68). GN
