Seeing a Complete Picture of the Proper Experience of Christ as seen in Colossians
We’re Branches in the True Vine of the Son and the New Child of the Spirit, the New Man
As believers in Christ, we are branches in the true vine of the Son and the new child of the Spirit, growing to be the new man – a full-grown man. The incorporation of the consummated God with the regenerated believers in resurrection issues in the Father’s house, the Son’s vine, and the Spirit’s […]
Minister Christ to others to Present every man Full-Grown in Christ to be Rapture-Ready
We need to enjoy and be filled with the riches of Christ so that we may minister Christ to others and present every man full-grown in Christ for the one new man; to be ready for rapture, we need the maturity in life. Amen! No farmer expects results right after sowing the seed; similarly, […]
