It is very clear that in the New Testament the word "church" almost always refers to a local assembly of believers. However, there are times when the word refers to the church as a whole. The word "church" means "assembly." It is true that every truly born again child of God belongs to the body of Christ, but what some call the "universal" or "invisible" church has not been called out of this world yet and assembled together. So for the present age the local assembly of believers is the church of Jesus Christ on earth. That makes the local church a very important part of every true Christian's journey through life here. It cannot be ignored, neglected, or abandoned.
