WIIAT IS THE CHURCH of CHRIST? (No. 1)
We would like to present for your consideration a
series of articles on the above question. In these articles
we plan to discuss the crigin, nature, identity, worship,
mission, and organisation of the New Testament
church. Following this series, we plan to write some
articles on “Misconceptions of the church of Christ.”
We intend, of course, to present the church from the
New Testament standpoint, and from nc other. We are
interested not in what men think or say about the
church, but in what God says in His Holy word, the
Bible. When we use the expression “church of Christ,
we mean the church spoken of in the New Testament,
the church founded and builded by Jesus Christ, the
church of which Paul, Peter, James, John, Mark, Silas,
Philip, Timothy and the other Christians mentioned by
name in the New Testament were members. We do not
have in mind the modern denominational concept o.
many different denominations or sects comprising “the
church ” We have in mind the Biblical concept of one
body (the church, Col. 1:18) ... even as ... One Lord,
one faith, one baptism.” (Eph. 4:4-5)
THE ORIGIN OF THE CHURCH OF CHRIST.
A study of this theme would naturally cover (1)
when it began, and (2) by whose authority it began,
that is, who is its originator.
The church was not in existence in the Old Testament
days. Jesus was born and lived under the Law o
Moses, Gal. 4:4. During His lifetime He said. Upon
this rock I will build my church” (Matt. 16.18). Not
the future tense, “I will.” Thus the church was not
then in existence, hut was yet to be built.
The church is spoken of in the New Testament as <-
kingdom of God, the kingdom of heaven, and toekng-
dom of Christ. In Matt. 1618-19. after Jesus had said
He would build His church He said also And 1 win
give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven
He was speaking of the church under another Hgure of
speech, calling it a government, or a kingdom. J< hr*
said he was “your brother, and ?ompanio£ •• •
kingdom . . ” (Rev. 1:9). Paul told the Christians at
Colossae that they had been delivered fromi the power
of darkness, and “translated into the king ,
dear Son” (Col. 1:13). These men were alive when hey
wrote; they wrote to living people yet told them th
were “in the kingdom.” Things that equal the same
thing equal each other, therefore, the c
kingdom are the same thing.
Jesus told the disciples that the kingdom was o
with power in the days of those then livg 1 .
He told them that the power was t° com
----- (Acts 1:8). The Holy Spirit came upon^he
the day of Pentecost (Acts 1.26-2.4). ine
