Due to man’s fall, he was cast out of the presence of God. God is Holy and God is Righteous – He cannot have fellowship or communication with the sinful man unless man is justified before Him and restored to his original condition. A little over 2000 years ago there was a man called Jesus […]
being saved from concerns, worries, and natural thoughs into Christ and the fellowship of the Body! (testimony)
I recently visited Latin America for three weeks. I blended with some churches who are pursuing Christ in the middle of a quite complicated political context, amidst poverty and practical limitations – especially related to moving or gathering together. One of the saints came to pick me up by taxi at the station in one […]
we are being freely justified by faith in Jesus Christ through His redemption on the cross
We all have read the verses in Rom. 3:23-24 which say, For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, being justified frely by His grace through the redemption which is in Christ Jesus. In God’s economy He wants to dispense Himself into man as his life and everything so that He […]
just open to the Lord and pour out your heart to Him! (sharing from the yp conference in Poland)
[This is the second part of sister Debora L’s sharing from her topmost enjoyment in the recent young people’s conference in Lipowiec, Poland. Read the first part here – the creation as a picture of our need for growth in life (sharing from the yp conference in Poland)] What made a great impression on me […]
the creation as a picture of our need for growth in life(sharing from the yp conference in Poland)
O Lord Jesus! O Lord Jesus I love you! O Lord Jesus I love You!!! I am really happy that despite my illness, I could attend the conference! It took four days – but how wonderful it was! Praise the Lord for the saints, for the mutual interceding in prayer for one another! I feel that the […]
In His ascension in His heavenly ministry Christ constitutes the new creation for the New Jerusalem!
God’s original intention was not just to have the creation of the universe and the creation of man – He was looking for something more. This is why He put man in front of the tree of life – God does not just want MAN, but He wants man to receive Him as life, be filled with Him as life, and live Him out as his life! But God had to wait for at least 2000 years until He could enter man – the old creation, of which Adam was the head, was without God until the Lord Jesus came! Actually, the old creation is OLD because God, who is NEW, is not in it! When we are born as human beings, no matter how good or spiritual our parents or our family is, we are born in the old creation, without having the divine life and nature. We can receive the divine life and the divine nature ONLY by believing into the Lord Jesus Christ and thus being regenerated by the Spirit! This is the way to become “a new creation” – no longer just the old creation but a new creation that has God in it! The new creation is actually the old creation transformed by the divine life, by the processed Triune God! Hallelujah, as believers we have God in us – and we are a new creation! 2 Cor. 5:17 clearly says this,
in His ascension Christ led us in a train of vanquished foes and made us gifts to the Body of Christ!
There are some window-words in the book of Isaiah through which we can see much more, with the help of the entire Bible, than what Isaiah wrote about these matters. Such words are, as we saw before, SEED, EXTENSION, and, as Isaiah 53:12 reveals, SPOIL. Here is what this verse says, Therefore I will divide to […]
