We need to see the importance of life and of the growth in life in our Christian life and church life. We may know the truth, we may love the Lord and read His word, and we may love the church and serve the saints in the Lord, but how much did we gain the […]
Being Mysteriously Transferred into the Realm of Resurrection for God’s Building
We all know the Lord’s word in John 12:24 where He says that unless the grain of wheat falls into the ground and dies, it abides alone – but if it dies, it bears much fruit. When the Lord Jesus came with the kingdom of God, He established a different principle of serving God and […]
Being Willing to Deal with our Natural Constitution for us to be Useful to God
As believers in Christ, we all love the Lord and we want to serve Him and please Him to the best of our ability. Yet somehow it looks like if “we do our best to do good and please God” and “we try our best to serve Him according to what He tells us” things […]

When we were born again by receiving the Lord Jesus as the divine life in us, we were born of God and we were “plugged into” the fellowship of the divine life. Every genuine believer today has an inward flow of the divine life which speaks to him, regulates him, supplies him, and keeps him […]
The Throne and the River of Life Typify Christ as King and Priest for God’s Building
At the end of the Bible we see the vision of the New Jerusalem, and in the center there’s the throne of God and the Lamb, out of which flows a river of water of life (see Rev. 22:1). The throne and the river of water of life speak of Christ being both the King […]
