The Invisible Church, the body of Christ... Ephesians 1: 22" And hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head over all things to the church, 23 Which is his body, the fulness of him that filleth all in all. Eph. 5: 23 For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body. Col.1: 18 And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence. Col.1: 24 Who now rejoice in my sufferings for you, and fill up that which is behind of the afflictions of Christ in my flesh for his body's sake, which is the church:"
The Body of Christ is also called the "Church of God" Acts20: 28 " Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood." 1 Cor. 10: 32 " Give none offence, neither to the Jews, nor to the Gentiles, nor to the church of God:"
