What does the Bible say about the true Church?

Answered in 15 sources

The Bible describes the true Church as the people of God, chosen and called by Him, who gather in unity to worship and proclaim the gospel.

The true Church, as depicted in the Bible, is not defined by denominational boundaries or physical buildings but rather by the community of believers known as God's elect. In Exodus 12, we see a clear distinction between the children of Israel and the Egyptians, highlighting God's chosen people who identified through their faith and obedience. The Church is where God's Spirit dwells among His people, emphasizing that God resides in the hearts of those who are chosen by Him, as illustrated through their collective worship and proclamation of truth.
