The Christian life is a corporate thing. Christ places His redeemed people in the church to learn together, grow together, serve together, and worship together.
In biblical Greek, "Ekklesia" refers to an assembly or congregation, specifically of God's people called out to be a witness to His truth and love. It's a term used to describe both the local gathering of believers and the universal body of Christians worldwide. The word carries with it the meaning of a "called-out" group, emphasizing God's active call to His people.
