Since today we are no longer in the age of the law but in the age of the church, we need to keep the law of the house of God, and we need to fashion ourselves according to the church. Our main concern should not be with behaving ourselves or with becoming a spiritual person, […]
What does it mean in our Experience for us to be Measured by God’s Building?
Our main concern as believers in Christ and members of the Body of Christ should be not with behaving ourselves or becoming spiritual but with being measured by God’s building and fitting into God’s house. If what we are and do can’t match God’s building, it amounts to nothing in the sight of God. As […]
When God’s Light Shines on us, we will be Measured by the House of God for the Body
After revealing the pattern, design, and features of the house of God to Ezekiel in a vision, God instructed him to describe God’s house to God’s people so that they would be measured by the house of God and be ashamed of their iniquities (see Ezek. 43:10-12). This is something very deep, profound, and mysterious, […]
Christ Builds the Church by Making His Home in our Heart to Constitute us with God
Christ is the only One qualified to build up His church, and he does this by building Himself into our being, that is, by making His home in our heart so that we may be mingled with the Triune God and become a mutual abode with Him. This is what the Bible reveals that God’s […]
We Experience the Cross as the Center of God’s Building to be Built into the Church
Although we as believers in Christ meet the cross everywhere in our Christian life, we experience the cross in a particular way when we come to the altar at the centre of God’s building, and here the cross becomes our center. The center of the building of the temple of God revealed in a vision […]
The Crucified Christ is God’s Power, and God’s way to Solve Problems is the Cross
The unique subject, center, content, and substance of the apostle’s ministry is the crucified Christ, and God’s way to deal with every problem in the universe is to terminate everyone and everything through the cross. As we are prayerfully considering the crystals in the book of Ezekiel, the matter of the cross is quite critical […]
Being Trained by the Lord Jesus to be Jesusly Human living a Divinely Human Life
![[The Lord's] training was to help the disciples realize that they were mingled with the Triune God, that they were no longer merely human but divinely human, even “Jesusly human.” They were no longer separate from the Triune God, but they could now live a life in which they were one with the processed Triune God. They were no longer merely men but God-men, divine men, with the Triune God as their intrinsic essence to become their divine being.

Because the humanity of Jesus is the only material qualified to be in the building of God, we need to be Jesusly human, that is, the most human of people, those who are under the Lord’s training to let Jesus live in them. The Lord’s death on the cross terminated our old man, crucifying it […]
