‘According to the Reformed conception of the Church, the attributes of the Church are always present and belong to the essence of the Church. On the other hand, the marks of the Church, which ought always to be present, depend upon the state of the Church at any given time. The Church is always in either a state of deformation or reformation; however, continued reformation must always be its goal. The Church must be continually reformed. The marks of the Church tell us how we can find the true Church, and what it must look like.
