The church exists for God - he has chosen to reveal his wisdom through it. The church belongs to Jesus - he rules it, and he is building it. He loves the church as his bride, so we should surely also love her!

Jesus has given the church ministry gifts to equip and mature us. The end goal is a wedding - with the church as his bride and he as our bridegroom!
