HISTORY OF THE CHURCH
CHURCH: There is a pillar and ground of truth. (1 Tim. 3:15). But when He, the Spirit of truth, comes, He will guide you into all truth (John 16:13; 14:26) "I am the way and the truth and the life" (14:6). And behold, I am with you always, even to the end of the world (Matt. 28:20).
ONE: One body and one spirit... one L-d, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all (Ephesians 4:4). Holy Father, keep them in Thy name, those whom Thou hast given Me, that they may be one, even as We also (John 17:11) I beseech you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you may all speak the same thing, that there be no division among you, but that you may be united, that you may be in one spirit and in one mind (1 Corinthians 1:10).
INVINCIBLE: A wise man built his house on a rock. And the rain fell, and the rivers overflowed, and the winds blew, and rushed upon that house, but it did not fall, because it was founded on a rock. (Matt. 7:2425). On this rock I will build My Church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. (16:18). How can anyone enter the house of a strong man and plunder his belongings, unless he first binds the strong? And then he will plunder his house. (12:29). The Church is the house of God (1 Tim. 3:15), and Christ is as the Son in His house; but we are His house (B. 3:6).
CONTINUOUS: And behold, I am with you always, even to the end of the age (Matt. 28:20). Glory to God in the Church in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, from everlasting to everlasting (Ephesians 3:21).
UNDISGUISED: A city that stands on the top of a mountain cannot be hid (Matt. 5:14). Is a candle brought in order to put it under a vessel or under a bed? Is it not to put it on a candlestick? (Mark 4:21).
WE REMEMBER OUR OWN: In eternal remembrance there shall be a righteous man (Psalm 111:6). The memory of the righteous shall be blessed (Proverbs 10:7). Remember your leaders who preached the word of God to you, and considering the end of their lives, imitate their faith (Heb. 13:7).
