The history of the church is not limited to the old testament nor the new testament but includes all history. But it is a glorious picture of God's relationship with his called out ones in the existence of the world. -It is God's supernatural communications to men, and of His dealings with His people, and with the societies which they constituted, or of which they formed a part, ever since man fell, and God began His great work of saving sinners, of calling them out of their natural condition, and preparing them for the enjoyment of Himself.- With that being said, God has always worked this out with men since the fall of Adam and all the way to now.
