In order for us to become suitable materials for God’s building, we need to experience Christ in His death (signified by cypress), Christ in His resurrection (signified by cedar), and Christ as the Spirit (signified by olive wood), being filled with the Holy Spirit and being in spirit for God’s building.

Allow the Crucified and Resurrected Christ as the Spirit to Build Himself into us for the Church
The Spirit of Jesus is the Totality and Full Realization of the All-inclusive Jesus
The Spirit of Jesus, whom Paul experienced in Acts 16:7, implies the Lord’s humanity, human living, death, resurrection, and ascension; the Spirit of Jesus is the totality and the full realization of the all-inclusive Jesus.

God is the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow (Heb. 13:8), and He never changes; He is perfect in Himself, self-existing, and ever-existing without needing to have any improvement, change, or perfecting.
