The Church on earth Our Journey, from God’s Perspective Making The Church, the eternal companion of the SON (Rev 19:7) All Peoples Discipled (Mt 24:14) Mature Church (Eph 5:27) The Church in Unity (Jn 17) (Rev 21:2) I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband. (Joh 17:22-23) I have given them the glory that you gave me, that they may be one as we are one — I in them and you in me—so that they may be brought to complete unity…. (Eph 4:13) until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ. (Rev 7:9) After this I looked, and there before me was a great multitude that no one could count, from every nation, tribe, people and language, standing before the throne and in front of the Lamb.
