One Church

"There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called to the one hope that belongs to your call" (Ephesians 4:4). Since Christ has only one body, and there is only one Spirit, there can only be one true church.

The Bible uses many analogies to teach us that there is only one church. Christ is the Bridegroom and the church the bride. Just as a bridegroom knows only one bride, our Lord knows and saves only one church.

Furthermore, Christ is the Shepherd and we are the sheep. Just as a shepherd gathers his sheep into one flock, Christ brings all believers into one church.
