What The Church Is

The Church is the "body of believers." It is comprised of those who have been saved and redeemed by the True and Living God, based upon the sacrifice of the Lord Jesus upon the cross.

The church is the bride of Christ. It is a living temple of the True God. It is not the building, the meeting place, an organization, or a denomination. The church is the totality of all true believers regardless of denominational affiliation. The entire body of believers is the church and as such, it is the dwelling place of the Holy and Infinite God.

Inclusion in the Body of Christ is not by membership in a denomination. The buildings many people refer to as "church" consists of those who say they are Christian but may or may not be truly saved. Being a member of a church on earth, guarantees nothing. Being a member of the Body of Christ, guarantees salvation.

The church is the glorious mystery of God made real and revealed in scripture. It is the dwelling place of God. Are you in the church? Do you know what the church is supposed to be?

You, if you are in Christ, have God living in you. You are in the church as much as you are the church.
