God is life, Christ is life, and the Spirit gives life. The Triune God as life wants to become our life – and He does it in a very subjective and organic way. He doesn’t “force His way in” us, He just presents Himself before us as food (just like He did in the garden of […]
After the blowing as the North Wind, God the Spirit covers us and broods over us
Our normal experience of Christ always starts with a “stormy wind” – as Ezekiel 1:1 says. God as the Spirit blows upon us to wake us up, to move us to repent of our sins, to turn to God, to believe in the Lord Jesus, to give up the world and anything else to follow […]
Eating, drinking, and breathing Christ for the building up of the Body of Christ
Our Christian life, just like our physical life, is being maintained / sustained by our continual supply – we need to daily eat, drink, and breathe in Christ. Christ is our real food, Christ is our real drink (John 6:55; John 6:30-35); He is the manna, He as the Spirit is the living water (John […]

not imitating Christ but living Christ
Many people say “I can’t become a Christian because I can’t do all that the Bible says”, and “the Lord Jesus is a good model, but I can’t live the way He did”. Also, many believers try to imitate Christ, striving to obey what the Bible says, and struggling to be good people/Christians. Some even […]
