God has thus formed a unity between those who are joined to the Lord (and are consequently one Spirit with Him), and Christ in the heavens; who is the beginning, the first-born from the dead, and Head of His body, the Church. There is also “a habitation of God, through the Spirit, built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ Himself being the chief comer stone; in whom oil the building fitly framed together groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord.”
