This is a subject that is almost uniquely close to the heart of God and therefore should be close to our hearts as well. Given how important the Church is to God we will not be surprised to discover that he has a great deal to say about the Church in the Scriptures.   The individual believer and the local congregation of believers that wants to grow in Christ-likeness and spiritual maturity will be the believer and congregation that brings themselves under the authoritative teaching of God’s Word and seeks to live in as close conformity to it as possible.

“Every earthly pilgrim ought faithfully…to love Jesus Christ, the Lord, the bridegroom of that church, and also the church herself, his bride.”

Jan Huss
