Without practicing the Scriptural way to meet and serve – the way that is shown in the New Testament – the Lord’s words concerning the building up of the church cannot be fulfilled. For the building up of the Body of Christ, we believers in Christ all need to practice the Scriptural way to meet […]
The Church as the Body of Christ is the Corporate Christ, the Body-Christ
The church as the Body of Christ is the corporate Christ, the Body-Christ, and all believers in Christ are members of the Body of Christ, that is, all believers are members of Christ. First of all, the expression “the Body of Christ” is not an allegory or a type, but it is what it says […]
