The Word of God reveals His Church as a spiritual body composed of those called and chosen by the Father sealed by His Holy Spirit.  Upon repentance, each member of the Body is given the Holy Spirit and is called to a life of overcoming, being transformed as a new creation in the image of Christ.  These members are recognized by their deep love of God and one another.  The Church is to exemplify and promote the gospel, i.e. the coming Kingdom of God and God’s power to reconcile us to Him.  Upon His return, Jesus Christ will be united with His Bride, the Church, and will extend salvation to all humanity.
