Purpose: The Church as Manifestation of the Spirit

The ability for the church to represent God the Father here on earth is not possible from natural man alone. We must have help from the indwelling of the Spirit to transform us and grow us in the image of Christ. The Bible says in 2 Corinthians 5:21 that our union in Christ’s death on the cross has afforded us the privilege of becoming the righteousness of God. This transfer is available only through the sinless life and sacrifice of Christ and the sealing and transforming work of the Holy Spirit.
