"Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; that he might
sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, that he
might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or
wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without
blemish." (Eph. 5: 25-27.) There is a social and collective element in
our human life, and therefore Christianity involves not only a
supernatural man but a divine society. Adam represented the race as a
whole and Christ also has a people who are bound together by certain
ties of life and fellowship and united under certain common
characteristics as an organic whole.

Early in the story of the human race we find humanity divided into two
great societies. One is called the sons and daughters of men developing
in the family of Cain, the other the sons of God connected with the
family of Seth.

Immediately after these two lines separate we find this remarkable
statement in Genesis 4: 26, "Then began men to call upon the name of the
Lord." More correctly this passage may be translated, "Then began men to
call themselves by the name of the Lord." This was the organization of a
divine society and it was organized with a divine name. They called
themselves by the very name of the Lord as God\
