What Is The Meaning Of God's True Church?

 

There is much misconception today about God's church and how functions. The true church of God is an assembly of people, responding to the call of God in Christ. In Romans 16:5, Paul says "Greet the church that is in their house". He refers to the church "in their house", not a building, but a body of believers. The true church is the body of Christ, of which He is the Head. It's helpful to us to remind ourselves of the actual meaning of the church so that it never loses its significance. Jesus very simply defines His church in Matt. 18:20 - "Where two or three have gathered together in My name, there I am in their midst. 2 Corinthians 6:16 says - "For you are the temple of the living God. As God has said; I will dwell in them." So, remember that we (Christians) make up the Body of Christ (church), and we meet together to worship in a church building.
