What do we call the Church?

• A. House of God
• B. Body of Christ
• C. People of God
• D. Kingdom of Heaven

Answer: (B)

The main idea tested here is how we describe the Church using a picture that shows love, unity, and connection with Jesus. The phrase that fits best is the Body of Christ. This image helps us see that Jesus is the head, guiding the whole community, while all the believers are parts of the same body. Each person has different gifts and roles, but we all rely on one another and on Christ to work together in faith, worship, and service. When we participate in the life of the Church—sharing faith, praying, and taking part in the sacraments—we stay united as one body. House of God usually points to a church building, not the people who form the Church. Kingdom of Heaven refers more to God’s reign or the place where God lives, rather than the living, connected community of believers. People of God is true and meaningful, but it doesn’t convey the living, interdependent relationship that the image of the Body of Christ expresses so clearly.
