The church of God is composed of the many genuine believers in Christ and has many aspects. One aspect of the church is being the Israel of God (Gal. 6:15-16). Maybe for us today this may not mean much, but for the Apostle Paul – who was born a Jew – this means a lot. […]
The Church is the Pillar and Base of the Truth, God Manifested in the Flesh
God is a mystery, Christ is the mystery of God, and the church is the mystery of Christ – this means that if we want to know the church, we will be mind-blown since we will get to know a little about the mystery of the universe. In Paul’s Epistles there are many indicators and […]
