ASPECTE ECLESIOLOGICE ALE EPISTOLEI CĂTRE EVREI
DIFFERENT ASPECTS OF THE EPISTLE TO HEBREWS

Summary/Abstract: The study traces out the ecclesiological meanings of some phrases used in Hebrews such as the house of God, people of God, sons of God. These phrases have behind them a well-defined theological tradition. They capture essential aspects of the Church, but also the believers’ filial relation to God, as well as the work of their salvation within the liturgical assembly of the Church. Their interpretation supposes the existence of both terrestrial and celestial aspects of the Church, but also their continuous character through the unique sacrificial work of Jesus Christ and through His entering into the heavenly sanctuary. Through the Christian Church assembly actualizing the sacrifice of Christ, the people of God becomes united with the heavenly Jerusalem, that is, the earthly sanctuary and liturgy are joined with the heavenly sanctuary and liturgy.
