Jesus promised His Church that the "gates of Hades"-the grave-would never prevail against it. The true Church of God would not die out; it would survive any attempts to destroy it.
How can you find that true Church of God, the Church Jesus built? How can you locate God's special people in the midst of the splintered and fractured faith that we know as Christianity? What distinguishes them from those to whom Jesus Christ said, "I never knew you"? (Matthew 7:23).
To answer these questions we need to understand an important lesson Jesus explained in a parable.
A lesson from a tax collector
To recognize the distinction between converted servants of God and those whose righteousness is measured by their traditions or opinions, we must see beyond impressive outward appearances. In His parable about the Pharisee and the publican (tax collector), Jesus shows how to discern the traits with which God is impressed as compared with the characteristics that tend to impress people (Luke 18:9-14).
