Purpose

The Church is the manifold wisdom of God.

The word translated manifold in  Ephesians 3:10  means many and varied–having many features and forms–diversified, intricate, complex, and many-sided. God’s wisdom in His extraordinary plan of salvation, as seen in the new and mysterious creation of the church, is a multi-faceted, many-colored, culturally diverse, rich, and beautiful community of believers. There is no other human co-op like it in the world.
