Who has God been adding to the church?
God has been adding individual believers from all around the world to the church, which is His body, the Body of Christ. This includes people from many nations, such as Chinese, Japanese, Russians, Germans, French, British, Americans, and Canadians, called out as a people for His name.
Les explains that God is now calling out Gentiles as a people for His name, which is the church, the Body of Christ. A Jew still has every opportunity for salvation, but on a personal basis, not a national one. Les uses the analogy of a fetus in the womb: the mother's body places cells correctly, rarely makes a mistake, and stops the cell-making process at exactly the right time, followed by delivery. The church is the same way: God has been adding individual believers from all around the world—Chinese, Japanese, Russians, Germans, French, British, Americans, Canadians, and whatever.
