The collapse of the universe caused by the rebellion of Satan and the fall of man gives God an excellent opportunity to manifest His wisdom (Eph. 1:8; 3:10; Rom. 11:33). According to the Bible, God’s salvation is to save us not only from our fallen, sinful condition but also from the heap of collapse (Eph. 2:1-8, 21-22). Witness Lee

God is Working to Liberate His Creation from Bondage by Heading up All things in Christ

January 16, 2018 by aGodMan 9 Comments

When Satan injected himself into man, he brought confusion to the whole creation. By this confusion the whole creation is under the bondage of corruption in vanity. This corruption came from darkness, the darkness came from death, and death came from Satan. So God has many problems. He has an enemy to deal with, and He has death, darkness, confusion, corruption, bondage, and vanity in His creation. Even today the whole creation is groaning because it is still in vanity and in the bondage of corruption. God must liberate His creation from bondage and bring it into the order of liberty by heading up all things under the headship of Christ. Witness Lee, God’s Purpose for the Church, pp. 24-25

The Church will Match Christ as Bone of His Bones for their Eternal Married Life

January 13, 2018 by aGodMan 2 Comments

The entire revelation of the Bible shows us the love story of a universal couple. That is, the sovereign Lord, who created the universe and all things, the Triune God—the Father, the Son, and the Spirit—who went through the processes of incarnation, human living, crucifixion, resurrection, and ascension, and who ultimately became the life-giving Spirit, is joined in marriage to the created, redeemed, regenerated, transformed, and glorified tripartite man—composed of spirit, soul, and body—who ultimately constitutes the church, the expression of God. In the eternity that is without end, by the divine, eternal, and surpassingly glorious life, they will live a life that is the mingling of God and man as one spirit, a life that is superexcellent and that overflows with blessings and joy. Rev. 22:17, footnote 1, RcV Bible
