“To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto Himself, not imputing their trespass unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.” – 2 Corinthians 5:19
Let us open the commission. It lies in a nutshell. “Thus saith the Lord of Hosts, As I live, saith the Lord, I have no pleasure in the death of him that dieth, but had rather that he should turn unto Me and live.” “Come now, let us reason together, saith the Lord; though your sins be as scarlet they shall be as wool, though they be red like crimson they shall be whiter than snow. ” Our commission begins with the announcement that God is love, that He is full of pity and compassion, that He is desirous to receive His creature back, that He willeth to forgive, and that He electeth, if it be consistent with the high attribute of His justice, to accept even the most rebellious, and to put them amongst His children. Our commission goes on to disclose the manner, as well as the motive, of mercy. Inasmuch as God is love, He, in order to remove all difficulties in the way of pardoning rebels, has been pleased to give His only begotten Son that He might stand in the room, place, and stead of those whom God has chosen; their sins He engaged to take; to carry their sorrows, and to make an atonement on their behalf. Thus the justice of God should be satisfied, and His love flow over to the human race. We declare, therefore, that God has given Christ, and He has made it a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that He came into the world to save sinners, even the very chief.~ C.H. Spurgeon

Hi well I talked about this morning about going to church again and they said do you remember the conversation we had and I said show me Bible Verses to back up your claims I’m not acting like a Christian I think they said the Golden Rule and honor your father and mother I think before that I asked do you want to worship God they said yes. I said find me a way to get to church if your not going to take me I think. I then asked do you know what a Christian is and explained.

I don’t know I just want to get back to church after being gone I don’t want them to think I went apostate when I haven’t and I spent decades not going to church before I was Born Again.

All I could do is cry out to God for help I asked Him for a Bible Verse.

Well, surely someone at your church would notice you are missing and check up on you, no? And, no, you wouldn’t be going apostate if you never were to step foot in a church again-that only happens if you turn your back on the Lord.

Do they have a point about the golden rule and honor your father and mother when it comes to acting like a Christian?

Yes, that is what we do unless we are being told to do something that the Lord would not have us do.
