The highest point and the most profound aspect of Christ dwelling in us is found in Eph. 3:16 – Christ making His home in our heart. Why does God want to dwell in man? The desire of God’s heart is to have a house, a habitation, a dwelling place, and for this He comes to […]
Letting the Peace of Christ Arbitrate in Us and Letting His Word Richly Abide in Us
The all-inclusive Christ revealed in the book of Colossians is our life and our daily enjoyment for our supply and experience. He is the First in everything – in the old and the new creation, in the Body, in the church, and in the new man. Christ is all and in all, and He wants […]
