WHAT IS THE CHURCH

The church is not a building, it is God’s people. All who are born again through Jesus Christ are members of Christ’s body, His church. And that the bodies of all believers are the temple of God, which Jesus is the head of. The church is not a place for the unsaved or the unchurched sinners.

4 For as we have many members in one body,
but all the members do not have the same function,
5 so we, being many, are one body in Christ,
and individually members of one another.
ROMANS  12 : 4, 5

19 Or do you not know that your body is the temple
of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God,
and you are not your own?
1 CORINTHIANS 6 : 19

12 For as the body is one and has many members, but all the members
of that one body, being many, are one body, so also is Christ.
1 CORINTHIANS  12 : 12

26 And if one member suffers, all the members suffer with it;
or if one member is honored, all the members rejoice with it.
27 Now you are the body of Christ, and members individually.
1 CORINTHIANS  12 : 26, 27

22 And He put all things under His feet, and gave Him
to be head over all things to the church,
23 which is His body, the fullness of Him who fills all in all.
EPHESIANS  1 : 22, 23
