Ephesians 1:23

Eph. 1:23. "The fullness of him that filleth all in all." The church is not only represented as Christ's ornament, but God's people are often spoken of in the Old Testament as God's portion and inheritance, his treasure, his jewels, his garden of pleasant fruits, his pleasant plant, Isaiah 5:7, the plant of his pleasures, his pleasant food, as the first ripe figs. Jeremiah 24:2; Hosea 9:10. The first-fruits of all his increase, Jeremiah 2:3. A garden and orchard of spices, and his bed, or field, of lilies, among which he feeds, his fountain of gardens, or refreshing streams from Lebanon, a garden where he gathers his myrrh and his spice, and where he eats his honeycomb with his honey and drinks his wine with his milk.

So the saints in the New Testament are spoken of as God's wheat, and good grain, that he gathereth into his garner.
