What of church that we should know?

[F. V. B.]

Church generally mentioned in the Bible, ecclesia, is referring to a local assembly of believers. If we mean the whole body of believers it is better to say that, or the body of Christ, for being clear. There is the church in heaven, the bride of Christ, so that would be the church now, and not one assembly or congregation the way church is meant much more generally. The church we would attend should not neglect speaking of any of the things God meant for us, it is what church is needed for.
