The Importance of Church Discipline

They highlight that most people will not read the Bible, but they will observe the lives of Christians, making it crucial to reflect the character of Christ. The chapter draws an analogy between the church and paint, where the church is meant to pour over the invisible qualities of Christ, revealing his shape and showing the world what he truly looks like.
