| | The Church as the Body of Christ |
 | | For the full sanctification of man, the body of the servant of the Lord must be united with the Body of Christ, and this is accomplished in the mystery of Holy Communion. | | | The Church is the Body of Christ both because its parts are united to Christ through His divine mysteries and because through her Christ works in the world. | | | All who believe in Christ and are united unto Him by giving themselves to Him and by the reception of divine grace conjointly constitute the Church of Christ, the Head of which is Christ Himself, and they who enter into her are her members. |

| | The Doctrine of the Body of Christ |
| | The body of Christ is formed by the spirit, indwelt by the Spirit, empowered and controlled by the Spirit and is also changed from glory to glory in to the same image and likeness of Christ, her Head, and so the body of Christ is spiritual. | | | The body of Christ is eternal in its existence. | | | First of all, the Body of Christ is spiritual because the members who make it are born not of blood, not of the will of man, nor of the will of the flesh but of God who is Spirit. |

| | This truth, that the Church is the mystical body of Christ, all its members being guided and directed by Christ the head, is set forth by St. | | | In virtue of this union the Church is the fulness or complement (pleroma) of Christ (Ephesians 1:23). | | | This, of course, is true of the Church, but the Church has also a unity of a higher order; it is not merely a moral but a mystical body. |

| | The Church of God apart from the Person of Christ is a useless structure. | | | As it is with most religious retreats, we were treated with singing, worship and prayer services, and many of Christ centered activities. | | | Therefore, nothing, no physical image or idol, can ever serve as a God, for the One True God is a spiritual being, the creator of all things, and He is a living entity. |
