Justification is of Life: the Result of Justification is Enjoying Christ as life

The goal of God’s salvation is life, for justification is of life and unto life; the result of our justification is the full enjoyment of God in Christ as our life, for God wants us to enjoy Him as life after we are being justified by faith.

We are Freely Justified by God through Faith in Christ and based on His Redemption

God uses the Ugly Flesh to Force us Turn to our Spirit to Gain Him for His Building

God in His wisdom and sovereignty uses our sinful and ugly flesh to force us to turn to our spirit so that we may gain more of the Spirit for His building by the growth of God in us; the flesh causes us to turn to our spirit, having no confidence in the flesh, so that we serve in spirit and live in spirit.

We're a Miniature Garden of Eden: Christ is in our Spirit and Satan is in our Flesh

Today we believers in Christ are a miniature garden of Eden, for God as the tree of life is in our spirit, Satan as the tree of knowledge is in our flesh, and our mind is in between; we need to choose to turn to our spirit and never try to improve our ugly flesh, for there’s no room for bettering or improvement with the flesh. Hallelujah for our spirit! Thank the Lord that we can see the two…

Exercise our Spirit of Faith to take the Shield of Faith and the Helmet of Salvation

As believers in Christ and members of the Body of Christ, we need to put on Christ as the constituents of God’s armour; in particular we need to take up the shield of faith with which we’re able to quench all the flaming darts of the evil one, and we need to receive the helmet of salvation.

Put on Christ as the Constituents of God's Armour: have our Loins Girded with Truth

Christ is the constituents of God’s armour seen in Ephesians 6:10-20, and this armour is for the entire Body of Christ, for we fight the battle in the Body, not on our own; we need to stand, having girded our loins with truth, that is, with the Christ whom we experience and express in our daily living. Amen! In Ephesians 4, we see that Christ, the Head, gave some gifts to the Body; some of the…

Seeing that Every Member of the Body of Christ is an Indispensable Gift to the Body
