The tremendous growth of the early church was attributable in a great degree to Christians understanding their role as visible members of the body of Christ. Language such as "let us go to church" or "can we be believers without being church attenders" would have been totally foreign to them. They were the church.
If we are going to be the church of God's intent, we must emphasize the organic nature of the church. We have been called to be a visible, active part of the body of Christ. May we challenge every believer to accept that call!
