This is how God moves on earth – God moves in man and through man, doing nothing apart from man. God moves in man to deify man, making man the same as God in life and nature but not in the Godhead.

being a Christian student on the campus – being grouped together with the students is vital!

the God who has become experiential to us through our being in Him is the true God and eternal life
The last part of 1 John 5:20 is very mysterious and yet very packed with meaning. John says, “This is the true God and eternal life”. What does “THIS” refer to? Why didn’t John just say, “He is the true God and eternal life”?
