The Church is defined as “His [Christ’s] body, the fullness of Him who fills all in all.” (Ephesians 1:23). It is through His Body, that Christ will give the final revelation of His Father’s character, just as He gave it when He was on Earth, 2000 years ago.
It is not surprising then, that the Holy Spirit should illuminate this topic, to prepare the Church for her high destiny in the closing scenes of the great controversy between Christ and Satan.
This volume provides a wonderful introduction to the Bible teaching about the Church: its composition and membership, its officers, its service, its missionary work, and its organization.
Although the topic is inexhaustible, because He who inhabits the Church is infinite, these articles, written from 1885 to 1907, provide an excellent starting point. 234p
