The Church of Christ The. It is the one and only. Contrary to popular opinion, the Bible lays claim to only one body (Eph. 4:4), one church (Eph. 3:10) and one eternal kingdom of the saved (Dan. 2:44). Church. The original Greek word for church signifies the “called out,” and refers to a people, not to a building. Individuals are called out of the world, out of sin and out of condemnation. Individuals are called into God’s assembly, into forgiveness and into grace. The church is the body of believer who have been saved. Of. This body has a Master and Lord. Someone owns it (Acts 20:28). Like a husband he cares for the church (Eph. 5:23). He alone authorizes its teaching and worship. He alone adds to its membership (Acts 2:47). Christ. Jesus was born to reign over God’s kingdom (John 18:36). He died to purchase unto Himself all who would submit to him in baptism (Acts 2:38). Anointed by God and adored by men, Jesus Christ today awaits the day His church comes home. The church of Christ is the product of centuries. In it God’s love is most fully realized but only inadequately appreciated. In it God is glorified, Jesus is served and we are saved. David Bragg
