The Will of God – One Person (the all-inclusive, extensive Christ), One Way (the cross), and One Goal (the Body of Christ)

August 31, 2010 by aGodMan 19 Comments

This weekend I was so impressed with the will of God, as expounded in the conference I recently attended. Here is some enjoyment from this conference. The will of God is God’s will – it is about God, His heart’s desire from eternity – to have Christ expressed through many people as His Body. God’s […]

Christ is extending His days in His believers – enjoy His resurrection life today!

At the Lord’s table on the Lord’s day we sang one of my favourite Hymns which seems to get richer and richer – Hymn #203, which is a Praise of the Lord for His Increase (listen to it online, or read the lyrics online). 1. In the bosom of the Father, Ere the ages had begun, Thou […]

Seeing Ourselves as Members of the Body

April 24, 2010 by aGodMan 3 Comments

Paul says in Romans 12:5 that we are “members one of another” in the Body. We are certainly familiar with this phrase, and with the principle that Paul sets also forth in his letter of love to the church in Corinth. However the situation was in Corinth, with many distractions, difficulties and even damaging aspects […]

enjoying the God revealed in Romans, the progressive revelation of God in the book of Romans

March 16, 2010 by aGodMan 6 Comments

These days we’re going through the book of Romans, especially considering the Gospel of God in Romans. In this book we can see a progressive revelation of God – seeing our God in at least 12 aspects related to us/His salvation/His plan. The book of Romans shows us how fallen sinners under God’s condemnation can […]

God became man to make man God in life and nature but not in the Godhead

March 10, 2010 by aGodMan 16 Comments

There it is: I have repeated what Athanasius said in the 4th century – “He was made man that we might be made God”. This is God’s desire and His intention – to make man the same as He is. God wants to be expressed in a collective way, through many human beings constituted as […]

All that Christ has attained and obtained is to the church!

January 30, 2010 by aGodMan 7 Comments

When we were regenerated, we became members of the Body of Christ – where Christ is the Head and we, the believers in Christ, are the many members of the Body. Just like in a human body, whatever the head does/has/attains unto, it is the same for the body (of the head). If the head […]

the divine history within the human history, God’s economy and purpose

December 21, 2009 by aGodMan 1 Comment

In school we are being taught about the history of our nation & the history of the continent we live in & the history of the world. We daily hear/watch news about the leaders of the countries taking certain decisions, events taking place in different parts of the world, wars, good news or bad news. […]
