Paul’s desire was to be found in Christ, not having his own righteousness but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which is out of God and based on faith (Phil. 3:9). In the past, Paul was found by everyone in the law; he pursued the righteousness that came out of the law, […]
Living in the Spirit to Overcome any Deadness and be Clothed in White Garments
To the one who overcomes in the church in Sardis the Lord promises to give him to be clothed in white garments, and He will not erase his name out of the book of life, and He will confess his name before His God and before His angels (Rev. 3:5). To have white garments means […]
The Significance of the Priestly Garments and their Application in our Christian Life
All believers in Christ are priests to God, and as such we need to have a certain kind of diet (Christ as the reality of all the offerings and as the bread of the presence) and we need to have a particular kind of clothing, something that will set us aside from the rest as […]

Christ was given by God as a covenant and as a light to the nations – we can enjoy Him in our spirit!
