MR No. 1224 - The Church is the Bride of Christ
§3
上帝称教会是祂的身体。教会是新妇，羔羊的妻。上帝是这个家庭的父，是羊群的牧者。然而与任何一个教会仅仅有外在的联络不会拯救任何一个人。对一位个人的救主的个人的信心才会使人与基督进入属灵的联合。基督在《约翰福音》第六章中清楚地教导了这个真理。（《文稿》1899年121号第17页）怀爱伦著作托管委员会1986年10月30日全文发表于美国首都华盛顿。{16MR 277.1}[1]
§4
God calls the church His body. The church is the bride, the Lambs wife. God is the Father of the family, the Shepherd of the flock. But a mere outward connection with any church will not save a man. It is personal faith in a personal Saviour which brings the soul into spiritual union with Christ. This truth Christ plainly teaches in the sixth chapter of John.-- Ms 121, 1899, p. 17. Ellen G. White Estate Washington, D. C. October 30, 1986. {16MR 277.1}[1]
