Paul’s aspiration in Phil. 3:10-11 was to know Christ and the power of His resurrection, … if perhaps he would attain to the out-resurrection from the dead. He wanted to gain Christ and to be fully brought into resurrection. As believers in Christ we need to have a deep realization that our entire natural being […]

For us as Christians and loving seekers of Christ to be useful to God, we need to cooperate with the Lord to deal with our natural constitution so that we may be fully brought in resurrection (see Phil. 3:3-11).

The Divine Fellowship is Everything in Our Christian Life and Church Life
The divine fellowship is the flow of the divine life in us, the Triune God as the Spirit flowing in and out of us, and it also is the fellowship in spirit with our fellow believers. The divine life which we have received through regeneration is a fellowship, a flow, and this divine fellowship is […]
