String 9: _Glorification of the Church_ The church means a called out class, separate and distinct from all others.

The church of Christ consists of Jesus Christ the head and the 144,000 members of his body.

(Colossians 1:18; Revelation 7:4) Those composing this special class are otherwise designated saints.

A saint is one who is pure, holy, blameless.

The followers of Christ Jesus are not holy or blameless within themselves, but their holiness is by virtue of his imputed merit.
