The entire Bible is the autobiography of the Triune God, seen in the two sections of eternity and on the bridge of time, from being the single God who is Triune in eternity past to creating all things, being incarnated, dying on the cross, being resurrected, being ascended, and being compounded to be the corporate God, the New Jerusalem!
Lord Jesus, unveil us to see the Bible as the content of the Christian life and the autobiography of the Triune God in eternity and on the bridge of time! Amen, Lord, we open to You to be infused with You today! Grant us to see how God has a heart’s desire, an intention, and an economy. May we be part of Your economy today and may we be one with You for the fulfillment of Your economy. Amen, Lord, work Yourself into us until we become part of Your corporate expression, the church today and the New Jerusalem for eternity! Amen!
This week we come to the first way of entering into a new revival, that is, arriving at the highest peak of the divine revelation. We want to be revived. All people want to be revived.
The world today offers many things they call new, for they think people want things to make them feel new. But we as believers in Christ have this inner feeling that we want to be renewed, we want to be revived, and we want to be refreshed.
God wants to revive us and renew us, and we have an aspiration to be revived.
The Lord wants to bring in a new revival, a revival that opens the door for the Lord’s return. We need to look at God’s word and see what is the ultimate revival that the Lord wants to bring in, the revival that will bring Him back.
According to the divine revelation, for us to enter into a new revival, we need to arrive at the highest peak of the divine revelation, live the life of a God-man, and enter into the shepherding according to God.
This is the highest peak of the divine revelation that the Lord has shown to us. We are so grateful to the Lord for unveiling to us what is on His heart.
He created all things and He is doing all things not only for Him to gain man and fellowship with man but even more, for God to obtain a corporate expression of Himself by working Himself into man to be one with man and be lived out of man. Hallelujah!
May we allow the Lord to grant us a fresh vision of His eternal economy so that we may live the life of a God-man and enter into the shepherding according to God so that we may enter into a new revival, a genuine revival, the revival that will bring the Lord back! Amen!
The Entire Bible is the Autobiography of the Triune God in Eternity and in Time
If we read the Bible, we realise that the entire Bible is the content of the Christian life and the biography of the Triune God.
Actually, since the Bible is written by God, the Bible is the autobiography of the Triune God, seen in the two sections of eternity and on the bridge of time. This is tremendous!
If we want to know who God is, what God is, what God has done, what God is doing, and what God will do, we need to come to the Bible. There is no other divine revelation in the whole universe besides the Bible.
The Bible is an explanation of the eternal economy of God, revealing to us what is on God’s heart, and the Bible is an autobiography of the Triune God.
There is only one autobiography that speaks of God, and this autobiography is the content of our Christian life. What a wonderful person we see in the Bible! From beginning to end, we see the processed and consummated Triune God! Praise the Lord!
He exists from eternity to eternity, having no beginning and no ending. Before time was, He existed, and long after time is gone, God still exists.
At one point, this eternal One came and created the universe and man. After His creation of man, God remained the same for four thousand years, seeking to gain a group of people through whom He could express Himself.
Then, one day, God Himself became a man; we can say that He entered into a long “tunnel” to get Himself processed. God became man – the Word became flesh (John 1:1, 14).
He put on humanity, and He lived a perfect human life. After thirty-three and a half years, God is no longer just God – He is both God and man, having both divinity and humanity.
Then, He died on the cross to accomplish redemption; God Himself cannot die, but God, having become man, died, and He accomplished a redemption that is eternal and eternally effective. Praise the Lord!
The Bible is truly the autobiography of the Triune God, showing us not only what He is and what He did but also the processes He went through. After He died, He entered into resurrection, and then He entered into ascension.
All the processes He went through became ingredients of His being; they all became part of Him, included in what He is.
Now the Triune God is no longer only God with divinity; He has divinity, humanity, human living, an all-inclusive death, and an all-inclusive resurrection.
He is the processed and consummated Triune God. Hallelujah, our God is a composition: He is composed of divinity, humanity, human living, death, and resurrection!
He is not only our God and our Creator but even more, He is our Redeemer, our Saviour, our Lord, our Master, our Head, our reality, our life, our living, and our everything! This is our God!
God in the heavens has become personal to us, for in His resurrection He became a life-giving Spirit (1 Cor. 15:45) to come into our spirit and be our life.
The compounding of His being is typified by the compounded holy ointment in Exodus 30:22-31.
Just as the fine oil had some spices added to it in specific measures, and they were compounded together to obtain one holy anointing oil, so the Triune God went through a process to have some “ingredients” added to His being for Him to be the processed and consummated Triune God. Praise the Lord!
Now our God is a composition, for He has been compounded. The One we receive, enjoy, experience, and take as our life has divinity, humanity, human life, death, and resurrection.
In the all-inclusive Spirit which Christ became through His processes, there is God, man, divinity, humanity, perfect human living, death of Christ, the sweetness and effectiveness of Christ’s death, and the preciousness and repelling power of Christ’s resurrection. Wow, today our God is a compounded God!
This is what the Bible shows us as the autobiography of the Triune God. In the beginning of the Bible, we see God (Gen. 1:1-2); at that time, there was only the aspect of Him being triune – the Father, the Son, and the Spirit.
Then, throughout the autobiography of the Triune God, the Bible, we see that God goes through a process in order to become enlarged and expanded.
The central revelation of God and the Lord’s recovery is God becoming the flesh, the flesh becoming the life-giving Spirit, and the life-giving Spirit becoming the sevenfold intensified Spirit to build up the church that becomes the Body of Christ and that consummates the New Jerusalem.
The end of the Bible shows us the New Jerusalem, which is the corporate God, the enlarged God, even the incorporated God, for God is united, mingled, and incorporated with His people to be the New Jerusalem! Praise the Lord!
In the New Jerusalem we see God and man blended together, mingled together, and incorporated together. We believers in Christ will participate in the New Jerusalem, for we are God’s children, God’s kind, God’s species. Praise the Lord!
The universal, divine-human incorporation of the processed and consummated Triune God with the regenerated, transformed, and glorified believers is the goal of God’s eternal economy (John 1:51; Rev. 21:3, 22).
Lord Jesus, unveil us to see the Bible as the autobiography of the Triune God. Hallelujah, the Bible is the content of our Christian life and also the autobiography of the Triune God! Thank You, Lord, for unveiling to us what You are, who You are, and what You are doing. Hallelujah, God became a man, stepping out of eternity onto the bridge of time, and He put on humanity! Amen, Lord, we praise You for Your incarnation. We praise You for Your death and resurrection, and we worship You for Your ascension. Praise the Lord, after passing through all the processes, now God is processed and consummated to be the compounded God! Amen, the God we receive, enjoy, and experience is compounded with divinity, humanity, perfect human living, death, resurrection, and ascension! Amen, Lord, we open to You today! Mingle Yourself more with us today. Work Yourself into us. Incorporate us into Yourself for You to obtain the New Jerusalem, the enlargement and expansion of God! Praise the Lord!
Seeing the Economy of God and the Biography of the Triune God in John chapter 1
When we say that the entire Bible is the autobiography of the Triune G
od, some may ask us to show us not just the whole Bible but at least a few verses or a chapter that shows us this. The best chapter in the Bible that shows us the economy of God and the biography of the Triune God is John chapter 1.
The entire Bible is an explanation of God’s economy, and John 1 shows us in just one chapter how God’s economy is worked out and how God went through a process.
John 1:1 tells us that God is the Word and the Word is God; in the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God. We can even call this as the bachelor God, for He is alone.
This is why God could eventually say in Genesis 1 that it is not good for man to be alone, for He knew that it is not good for God to be alone.
Then, in John 1:14 we see that God became man, for the Word became flesh. This shows the matter of incarnation; God stepped out of eternity and onto the bridge of time to become man. Now God is the incarnated God; the bachelor God became the incarnated God.
Verse 29 in chapter 1 further says that He is the Lamb of God; when John the Baptist saw Jesus, he said, Behold the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world. God became a man, and He is now the redeeming God.
God wants to reach man and be one with man, even bring man into His economy, but man is sinful. Even though God loved man, His righteousness caused a big gap between God and man.
So God became the flesh, and the flesh became the Lamb of God, the redeeming God. Now the barrier between man and God is broken, for Christ died for us on the cross! Praise the Lord!
In John 1:32 we see that, as the Lord was baptised, the Spirit came down as a dove and descended on the Lord Jesus. We can match this with 1 Corinthians 15:45, where we see that the last Adam became a life-giving Spirit.
The Lamb of God became a life-giving Spirit. Hallelujah! This shows us another step He took in His process, in His economy.
In John 1:42 we see how the Lord Jesus changed the name of one of His disciples, Cephas, into Peter, a stone.
If we have the glasses of God’s economy as we read this, we realise that this implies transformation, for a stone is a material for God’s building. God wants not only to be incarnated or redeem us; He wants to gain a building, the church as the Body of Christ. Now God is the building God.
The bachelor God became the incarnated God, the incarnated God became the redeeming God, the redeeming God became the life-giving Spirit, and the life-giving Spirit is making us stones for God’s building as the building God.
Even more, in John 1:51 we see a conversation between Nathanael and the Lord Jesus, where the Lord tells him that He will show him a ladder connecting earth to heaven, and angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of Man.
This is the fulfillment of Genesis 28, Jacob’s dream at Bethel. This is the house of God – God and man dwell together. This points to the New Jerusalem, the mutual dwelling place of God and man in eternity! Praise the Lord!
In one chapter of the Bible, John 1, we see the autobiography of the Triune God and the economy of God. Hallelujah!
If we know these verses and memorise them, even pray much over them, we will see how God was in eternity the Bachelor God, then He became the Incarnated God, the Redeeming God, the life-giving Spirit as the life-giving God, the Building God, and the incorporated God. Hallelujah!
He is obtaining what He desires by the processes He went through and then coming into us to process us through regeneration, transformation, and glorification, to make us the same as He is! Praise the Lord!
Lord Jesus, thank You for becoming a man to put on humanity. Hallelujah, the eternal Triune God stepped on the bridge of time to put on human flesh and became a man! We praise You, the Word of God becoming flesh! Thank You for becoming the redeeming God, the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world. We look to You, we believe into You, and we are redeemed. Thank You for becoming a life-giving Spirit to regenerate us with the divine life. Amen, Lord, we believe into You and we receive You as life. Praise the Lord, we are children of God regenerated by God with His divine life and nature! Thank You, Lord, for being the building God, the God who transforms us into living stones for God’s building! We open to Your building work. Hallelujah, Christ is the incorporated God, and He is incorporating us with God and into God for Him to obtain a corporate expression of Himself, the New Jerusalem! Praise the Lord, the New Jerusalem is the consummation of God’s work throughout the ages to be the enlargement and expansion of the Triune God to include man for His corporate expression for eternity! Hallelujah! Amen!
