What is the issue of our experience of the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? Is it merely to become “more spiritual” people with many more spiritual experiences of God? Is it to make us “spiritual giants” or “faith titans”? The issue of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob was the […]

The Believers in Christ are the Real Israel of God and the Many Sons of God
The church of God is composed of the many genuine believers in Christ and has many aspects. One aspect of the church is being the Israel of God (Gal. 6:15-16). Maybe for us today this may not mean much, but for the Apostle Paul – who was born a Jew – this means a lot. […]

The Center of Paul’s Gospel – Romans chapter 8, God’s dispensing, and the sonship
The center of Paul’s gospel is Romans chapter 8. Here he unveils the dispensing of the Triune God as life into the tripartite man. This is the focus of God’s economy: God coming into us to be our life so that we may be His corporate expression. This is experiential. The law of the Spirit of life (v. 2) is the Triune God operating in us. He first makes our spirit life (v. 10) then spreads to make our mind life (v. 6), then to impart life to our mortal body (v. 11) and to enable us to put to death all our natural living (v. 13). By this spreading of life within, we mature from children (v. 16) to sons (read more in 8:14, note 3). The goal of this expanding dispensation is our conformation to the image of God’s firstborn Son (v. 29). Lord, daily spread Yourself in our entire being until we fully express You.

I will declare Your name to My brothers; in the midst of the church I will sing hymns of praise to You
Praise the Lord for His church-producing resurrection! After passing through His redeeming death (Psa. 22:1-22), Christ entered into His church-producing resurrection (Psa. 22:22-31). The aspects emphasized in Psalms 22 are the church and the many brothers being produced in Christ’s resurrection. When the Lord Jesus was on the earth, He called His followers His disciples, […]

The proof of our justification is the resurrected Christ – now Christ is our righteousness!
Due to man’s fall, he was cast out of the presence of God. God is Holy and God is Righteous – He cannot have fellowship or communication with the sinful man unless man is justified before Him and restored to his original condition. A little over 2000 years ago there was a man called Jesus […]

Christ saw A SEED as the issue of the travail of His soul and He was satisfied!
I was so encouraged to see the fact that Christ is Fully Satisfied with what He accomplished in His resurrection and ascension! Maybe we have heard many times that Christ in His resurrection became the life giving Spirit (1 Cor. 15:45), He was begotten as the Firstborn Son of God (Rom. 8:29), and He regenerated […]
