Ephesians 2:22

You too are being built. You Gentile Christians (along with Jewish Christians) are being built [present continuous] into a house (made of living stones held together by love) where God lives (Acts 7:48; Acts 17:24) through his Spirit!" Lipscomb says: "The New Testament clearly recognizes each separate congregation as the body of Christ. So that God through his Spirit dwells in each distinct and separate church. The church is the body of Christ in the community in which it is situated. It is not a foot in Corinth, an arm in Ephesus, an eye in Philippi, an ear in Antioch. But each was a complete integral body of Christ composed of all the different members needed to make up his body." Each congregation is the visible body of Christ. In sum-total, they form the invisible body of Christ, the one church which he built (Matthew 16:18).
