What is the church? What does church life look like? Throughout the Bible the church is described as the household of God, sons and daughters adopted into his family. "“What is a Christian? The question can be answered in many ways but the richest answer I know is that a Christian is one who has God as Father...“Father” is the Christian name for God.” Knowing God, J. I. Packer, pg. 200 “Whenever we seek to define it simply in terms of what it is, we go astray. One might express the truth in a rather violently paradoxical way by saying that the Church is not what it is because it exists by the mercy of God who calls the things that are not as though they were. The Church is not merely a historical reality but also an eschatological one.” The Household of God, Lesslie Newbegin, page 153.
