The Church is the Bride of Christ
Therefore, my brethren, you also have become
dead to the law through the body of Christ, that
you may be married to another--to Him who was
raised from the dead, that we should bear fruit
to God. Romans 74
If the church is married to Christ, what name
should the church take?
3
The Church is the Body of Christ
I now rejoice in my sufferings for you, and fill
up in my flesh what is lacking in the afflictions
of Christ, for the sake of His body, which is the
church Colossians 124
And He put all things under His feet, and gave
Him to be head over all things to the church,
which is His body Ephesians 122-23
And He is the head of the body, the
church Colossians 118

Spiritual Blessings are in Christ
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus
Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual
blessing in the heavenly places in
Christ, Ephesians 13
If all members of the church must be in Christ to
receive spiritual blessings, what should they
name the church of which they are members?
5
All are Baptized into Christ
For you are all sons of God through faith in
Christ Jesus. For as many of you as were baptized
into Christ have put on Christ. Galatians
326-27
Or do you not know that as many of us as were
baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His
death? Romans 63
Should we baptize people into Christ and then ask
them to wear another name?
6
We Preach Christ
Then Philip went down to the city of Samaria and
preached Christ to them. Acts 85
Should we save men by preaching Christ to them,
then ask them to wear another name besides Christ
after they are saved?
For I determined not to know anything among you
except Jesus Christ and Him crucified. 1
Corinthians 22
7
Christ is the Builder of the Church
And I also say to you that you are Peter, and on
this rock I will build My church, and the gates
of Hades shall not prevail against it. Matthew
1618
Unless the LORD builds the house, They labor in
vain who build it Unless the LORD guards the
city, The watchman stays awake in vain. Psalm
1271

Christ is the Foundation of the Church
Now, therefore, you are no longer strangers and
foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints
and members of the household of God, having been
built on the foundation of the apostles and
prophets, Jesus Christ Himself being the chief
cornerstone, Ephesians 219-20
For no other foundation can anyone lay than that
which is laid, which is Jesus Christ. 1
Corinthians 311
9
Christs Blood Purchased the Church
Therefore take heed to yourselves and to all the
flock, among which the Holy Spirit has made you
overseers, to shepherd the church of God which He
purchased with His own blood. Acts 2028
Knowing that you were not redeemed with
corruptible things, like silver or gold, from
your aimless conduct received by tradition from
your fathers, but with the precious blood of
Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without
spot. 1 Peter 118-19
10
Christ Saves
For the husband is head of the wife, as also
Christ is head of the church and He is the
Savior of the body. Ephesians 523
Christ came for all but only those who obey Him
will see heavenly salvation!
And having been perfected, He became the author
of eternal salvation to all who obey Him Hebrews
59

The Church Practices OnlyChrists Doctrine
Whoever transgresses and does not abide in the
doctrine of Christ does not have God. He who
abides in the doctrine of Christ has both the
Father and the Son. If anyone comes to you and
does not bring this doctrine, do not receive him
into your house nor greet him for he who greets
him shares in his evil deeds. 2 John 9-11
