The Lord Jesus Christ came to found a great kingdom of many spiritual nations—the race of the elect, the community of king-priests—and the apostles were the builders. In a sense, every ministry, and every community, has a founder and the rest are builders of that community.

The general concept and Biblical background of a spiritual nation are introduced in Building a Spiritual Nation: The Foundation, by the same author.
