The church is the chosen people of God, filled by the spirit of God, working together to accomplish the mission of God.
“But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of Him who call you out of darkness and into His wonderful light. Once you were not a people, but now you are the people of God; once you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy. [1 Peter 2:9-10]
