What is the visible church?
May 25, 2025 Day 145
The twenty-first question in our catechism is:
“What is the visible church?”
The answer is:
“The visible Church of Christ is a congregation of faithful believers in which the pure word of God is preached and the sacraments are administered according to Christ’s commands.”
cf. 1 Corinthians 11:23-25; Acts 2:41, 42, 47 and also 1 Timothy 3:15 and Article 19.
