This book speaks
particularly of the church and unveils the church in its seven
aspects as (1) the Body of Christ, the
(fullness),
the expression, of the One who fills all in all; (2) the new
man, a
(corporate)
man;
(3) the kingdom of God, with the
(saints)
as citizens; (4) the
(household)
of God, a family full of life and enjoyment; (5) the dwelling
place of God, in which He may live ！
universally, a holy
(temple)
in the Lord, and locally, the dwelling
(place)
of God in our spirit; (6) the bride, the
(wife)
, of Christ for Christ's rest and satisfaction; and (7) the
warrior, a
(corporate)
fighter, who deals with and defeats God's enemy to accomplish
God's eternal purpose. (See Eph. 1:1
