God’s Concept of the Church
God has a select people of His own. His select people are those who are in Christ. The Bible calls these people various things: His Kingdom (Matthew 16:18-19), His Flock (Acts 20:28), His Body, His Church (Ephesians 1:22-23), and His Bride (Ephesians 5:32), His Household (1 Timothy 3:14-15). All of these terms refer to the same people. And all of these terms are singular. The Church is singular. And God tells us how one can belong to this group of one.
