Paul’s aspiration in Phil. 3:10-11 was to know Christ and the power of His resurrection, … if perhaps he would attain to the out-resurrection from the dead. He wanted to gain Christ and to be fully brought into resurrection. As believers in Christ we need to have a deep realization that our entire natural being […]
Our Natural Ability Must be Brought Into Resurrection to Become Useful to the Lord
Understanding the Process of the Experience of Dealing with the Natural Constitution
Whether we are a believer in Christ or not, we are NOT OK. There are so many things in us, in our natural being, that are just wrong. There are so many reactions, explosions, sharp words, strange loves, and all kinds of manifestations of the natural man in our being. After becoming a Christian, many […]
Being Thoroughly in the Divine Fellowship by Applying the Cross of Christ
It is so wonderful that the Lord has brought us into the fellowship of the divine life, where we can enjoy oneness with the Triune God, participating in all that He is and has accomplished. But we have to admit that there are still many problems in us, many obstacles to the fellowship of the […]
