The Lord’s commission in Matt. 28:19 is to go into all the world and disciple all the nations; His promise in Acts 1:8 about the coming of the Holy Spirit upon the disciples also says that “you will be My witnesses both in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria and unto the uttermost part […]

our Christian life is a life of preaching the gospel by loving one another
Until the Lord comes, since we are saved, we preach the gospel through our living, our attitude, our words – our very Christian life is a preaching of the gospel. Actually, according to Paul’s word in Phil 1:5-6, it is Christ who does this good work of preaching the gospel. Christ preaches the gospel in […]

our believing is not our natural virtue, but a reaction to the appearing of God
If you read the history of Abraham, you will see that, even though people call him a “giant of faith”, he was not such a big “giant” (actually, God is the giant of faith). All his “great steps” were taken in faith after God appeared to him. It looks like just after God appears to […]

We can sow and plant Christ as the tree of life! It is God who gives the growth!
Christ said, “I am the vine…” (John 15:1), “I am the bread of life” (John 6:35), and “I am the way, the reality, and the life” (John 14:6). These verses show us that Christ is the tree of life – a vine tree, reaching out everywhere, full of the divine life. And we are the […]

we depend on what we eat and we become what we eat: let’s eat Christ!
I’m still considering the picture in the garden of Eden, which is actually what is going on within us today: we are being put in front of the two trees daily – the tree of the knowledge of GOOD and evil, and the tree of life. The simple fact that God cares so much about […]

We need to eat Jesus every day as the tree of life, He is our real food!
God’s original intention in His creation of man can be seen in Genesis – after He created man, He placed man in a garden with lots of trees good for food! God gave man only one “commandment” – take care of your eating! Don’t eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, […]

1 Cor. 1:9 says God is faithful, through whom you were called into the fellowship of His Son, Jesus Christ our Lord. Our God is a faithful God – He called us into the fellowship of His Son – He called us and placed us in the vine, Christ as the embodiment of God! Here […]
