This collection gathers all the periodical articles from E. J. Waggoner pertaining to the topic of the Church. There are 152 articles in total.
The full and final display of the love and power of God to heal mankind from sin, is to take place through a united and purified church, the “body of Christ,” upon this earth.
Ephesians 5
25 Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;
26 That He might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word,
27 That He might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.
Revelation 19
7 Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honor to Him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and His wife has made herself ready.
8 And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints.
This collection gathers those articles that particularly apply to the spiritual inner working and building up of the church body; how the Holy Spirit is to be given the reins in forming a church after the divine similitude. 448p
