Well, the church has obviously been established (Acts 2), but Christ has not returned yet. Therefore, the church is still being built, as we are the living stones (1 Peter 2:5). The true church is firmly rooted in Christ, but will be a work in progress until Christ's return. Incidentally, if you have never taken the time to study church history, it is a fascinating read of how God has kept the gates of Hades from overpowering her. It gives you a real sense of continuity and helps see yourself in the whole context of "our people." I would recommend as a starting point _Church History in Plain Language_ by Bruce Shelley. --Joe! |
