ST. PAUL DESCRIBES IT.
The Apostle Paul told the Ephesian saints they were established upon the foundation of apostles and prophets.
"Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellow-citizens with the saints, and of the household of God; and are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone." (Ephesians 2: 19, 20).
He had reference in these words to the church of Christ.
