The Church

The church is the body of believers gathered in His name — a people one belongs to by faith. Wheat and tares grow together, and the sorting belongs to Christ.

The church is the body of believers in Christ gathered in His name. It is not an institution one joins but a people to whom one belongs by faith.

The visible church is mixed. Wheat and tares grow together until the harvest, and the sorting belongs to Christ, not to us.
