5. How important is church to Jesus Christ?
The Bible uses some metaphors (or symbols) which helps us understand the significance of the relationship that Christ has to His church.
A. The Body of Christ— (see 1 Corinthians 12:13; Ephesians 1:22-23; Colossians 1:8). A body is composed of many members which work with such symmetry that it functions without much thought. This symbol should remind each member of the church to endeavor to live peaceably among each other. (see Romans 12:18; Ephesians 4:3).
B. The Bride of Christ— (see Ephesians 5:23, 25). Here we see the sincere love that Christ has for His church. Jesus bought the church with His own blood (see Acts 20:28). If Christ esteems the church highly, shouldn’t we?
