| 答:教会就是蒙 神选召,蒙主耶稣用宝血所救赎的会众。教会是 神的家(参提前3:15)、圣灵的殿(参弗2:20-22;林前3:16),是基督的身体、基督的新妇(参启19:7;弗1:22-23),是真理的柱石和根基(参提前3:15),也是由信徒组成的团体。教会的惟一根基就是耶稣基督,除此之外再没有别的根基(参林前3:11)。
What is meant by the Church? What is the Church's foundation?
The Church is the assembly of those who have been chosen by God and redeemed by the precious blood of Jesus.The Church is God's household (cf 1 Timothy 3,15)and the temple of the Holy Spirit (cf Ephesians 2,20-22;1 Corinthians 3,16).It is the body of Christ and the bride of Christ (cf Revelation 19,7;Ephesians 22,23).It is the pillar and foundation of the truth(cf 1 Timothy 3,15) and it is the united body of believers. The Chruch's one foundation is Jesus Christ,apart from whom there is no other foundation(cf 1 Corinthians 3,11).
