The Church In Purpose
The church of our Lord was in the mind of God from the beginning. In Eph. 3:12 we see the church was in the eternal purpose of God. The church is not a substitue for somethng else that God intended to set up. The church makes know the mystery of God that God kept silent thrrough times eternal! (Eph 3:9). The mystery of God was His plan to save mankind through Christ (Eph. 3:11). Gal. 3:27 and I Cor. 12:13 shows this to be in the church. Not only is salvation made known in this institution, but the church as organized (local churches) should spread the gospel and thus make known to all men the dispensation of this mystery. The Old Testament was the mystery, the New Testament is the revelation of it!
