Jesus Christ rules His church through the office of elders. The rule of Christ takes place through the consistory – a body of elders standing together. This article provides the scriptural support for this body of elders, and shows the necessity of having a group of elders rather than one elder.

This article on the antithesis and the rule of Christ, is about the enmity between the church and world. The relation between the rule of grace and the rule of power is also discussed. The author looks at Genesis 3:15 in some detail.
