The Church is the body of Christ.
It's members are joined to him.
The Holy Spirit dwells inside.
They have victory over sin.
To love the Church is to love Christ.
God adds to the Church daily.
It's leaders rule well God's house.
The members worship gaily.
Jesus is the shepherd of the flock.
He labors for them in prayer.
Where any are in need of salvation,
He leads his servants there.
Shepherd the flock of God which is among you, serving as overseers, not by compulsion but willingly, not for dishonest gain but eagerly; nor as being lords over those entrusted to you, but being examples to the flock.
I Peter 5:2-3 NKJV

We urge you, brethren, to recognize those who labor among you, and are over you in the Lord and admonish you, and to esteem them very highly in love for their work’s sake. Be at peace among yourselves.”
I Thessalonians 5:12-13 NKJV
Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful. And let us consider one another in order to stir up love and good works, not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching.

Because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold.
