“I Believe in the Holy Christian Church” Ephesians 2:19-22

TRANSCRIPT

Date: May 31, 2026 Author: Wayne J. Edwards

God’s plan of salvation, which He devised and developed before the foundation of the world, was not only to bring sinners into a right relationship with Him, through their faith in Jesus Christ, but to bring those He saved in to a right relationship with one another, as the essential evidence of their new relationship with the Lord. When Christians, from totally different backgrounds, people who have nothing else in common with one another, are able to live in harmony, to love one another, care for one another, serve one another, worship and work together to build up the kingdom of God, not only do they glorify the Lord who saved them, but they show the world God’s power to save. Therefore, God intends His Church to be a display of His glory! The Church is a covenant community; a people who have been graciously called into a relationship with God, and bound in a loving relationship with every other believer. To be saved is to belong to the family of God.

The Apostles’ Creed is a foundational statement of Christian belief.

The ninth statement in the Apostle Creed reads: “I believe in the holy catholic church: the communion of saints.”

“So, the word “church” represents all of those people who have been called out of the world by the Holy Spirit since the Day of Pentecost, and united by their faith alone in the very Body of Christ.”
