Introduction:
 
The earliest New Testament reference to the Church is found in Matthew 16:18. In this verse, Jesus promised, “I will build my Church.” The rest of the New Testament records how Jesus did this through the leadership of the apostles and those appointed by them.

Consider the following scriptures: 

Romans 1:16;Colossians 1:13;Ephesians 2:1-10;John 6:44,65;Matthew 11:27-30;John10:27-30;I John 5:13 w/ 1:6-8,10;2:3-4,6,15-17;3:6,9-10,14-15;4:5-6,20;5:1;I Peter 1:17-19;
