Description
Do You really know what is the Church?
The Bible says that the Church is the Body of Christ, but what does it mean? It is not just a doctrine, but it is a spiritual fact requiring illumination from the Holy Spirit to be truly understood. It is in knowing Christ that we will know also the Body. Christ is the foundation and essence of the Body. It is from him that the body is formed. It is in him that we become the Body. It is from him that the whole body fitly connected grows and builds itself. The body is of Christ. Therefore, we seek to know and understand the nature of the Body of Christ, having as a starting point Christ himself.
This book addresses the emergence and nature of the Church, the relationship between its members, the operation of the Spirit through his gifts, the ministries, the edification and the mission of the Church as the Body of Christ on earth.
