To the intent that now to the principalities and powers in heavenly places might be known by the church the manifold wisdom of God, Ephesians 3:10
This is not speaking of the plastic, man-made, church, but the scriptural church that is being built according to the pattern. It may be incomplete, not fully assembled, and imperfect right now, but God is building a House. That House, with many "abiding places," is His Church, His Called Out Ones.
- It is through the Church that God is showing His many faceted wisdom.
- The Church is a called-out company of believers.
- The Church is a holy temple that God is building using living stones.
- The Church is the new Jerusalem.
- The Church is the abiding place that Jesus is preparing for you.
