The Church has neither times, seasons, days, months, or years (Gal. 4:10), which belong to the Jew.

Neither has it any carnal ordinances, which are for those living in the world (Col. 2:20); we are dead, and should not be subject to ordinances which all are to perish with the using, but we shall never perish. The assembly (Church) was "chosen in Christ before the world began, to the praise of the glory of His grace wherein He hath made us accepted in the beloved," and as a heavenly people we need not the things which belong to the world and time, but we are for heaven and eternity. Our ministry is of the Spirit, our unity one body, our hope the Lord's coming. W. M. McK.
