The Gift of the Church
"This gift of God was entrusted to the church, that all the members might receive of Him and be made alive; and none are partakers of Him who does not assemble with the church, but defraud themselves of life. For where the church is there is the Spirit of God; and where the Spirit of God is, there is the church and all grace."
- Irenaeus, Bishop of Lyons, and Father of the Church, ca 125- 170 A.D. NB that this guy was only TWO generations away from those who walked with Jesus.
