The visible Church of Christ is an expression of the spiritual fellowship resulting from faith in Christ. In whom ye also are builded together for an habitation of God through the Spirit. The Church is an effect of regeneration. The restoration of spiritual life antedates the church. God is love, and this love is that life. Love and unity are inseparable. There can be no true church witho'ut this spiritual life in its members; and where there is 'spiritual life there is unity. Unity because they are all led by one spirit, and all baptized by one spirit into one body. Ye also as lively stones are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God by Jesus Christ.
