We need to See the Diamond in the Bible and let God Build Himself in Christ into us

As believers in Christ, we are God-men who have the divine right to participate in God’s species and be Godkind, children of God; we need to see the diamond in the Bible and realise that in Christ God became man to make man God in life and nature, and we need to open for Him to build Himself into our humanity for Him to gain the church, His building.

Lord Jesus, unveil us to see what we are according to the Bible. May we realise that we believers in Christ are Godkind, the God-men today! Praise the Lord, we have been born of God with His life and nature, and we are now learning to live by the life of God to be part of God’s species, Godkind on the earth! Amen, Lord, we open to You today! Build Yourself into us. Build Yourself into our humanity for the building of God, the church as the Body of Christ! Amen!

When we see the highest peak of the divine revelation, we will realise that the Bible is an amazing book and our destiny as believers in Christ is so glorious!

When we realise that God became man through incarnation by participating in man’s humanity, we will clearly see that we as believers in Christ are becoming God through transformation by participating in God’s divinity.

When we were born again, when we were regenerated, we were given the divine right to participate in God’s divinity.

In particular, as we see in many portions in God’s word, we have the divine right to participate in God’s life, God’s nature, and God’s mind.

Even more, we have the divine right to participate in God’s being, for the unsearchable riches of Christ are dispensed into us continually and we are being transformed into the image of Christ by the Lord Spirit.

We have the divine right to participate in God’s image, for He is transforming us into the image of Christ as we behold Him and reflect Him like a mirror.

We have the divine right to participate in God’s glory, for He will one day transfigure the body of our humiliation to make it the same as the body of His glory, His glorious resurrected body! Amen!

We have the right to participate in God’s sonship, for we are sons of God enjoying all that He is.

We have the divine right to participate in God’s manifestation, for when He is manifested, we will be part of His manifestation, and the whole creation is yearning for this manifestation to take place.

We have the divine right to bear God’s likeness, for when we see Him, we will be like Him, bearing His likeness in every way. Hallelujah for our divine right!

We have the Divine Right to be Godkind – God’s Species

John 1:12-13 tells us that whoever believes into the Lord Jesus, that is, whoever receives Him by faith, is given the right to become a child of God, someone who is begotten not of blood or flesh or the will of man but of God.

We believers in Christ have the divine right to be Godkind, God’s species (see Rom. 8:14, 16).

This means that, just as we have been born of our human parents and we are part of the human species, so we were born of God as our divine Father to be part of God’s species. Wow!

There is such a species in this universe called God’s species, and we can enter into this species by being born of God! We can participate in being God’s kind, God’s species. This is amazing!

And in case we doubt this, Romans 8:16 says, The Spirit Himself witnesses with our spirit that we are children of God.

Not only does the Bible tell us that we’re children of God born of God through faith in Christ; God sent the Spirit into our spirit to be joined with our spirit and testify with our spirit that we are children of God.

We are children of God – we are God-men, part of the species of God. When we exercise our spirit to contact the Lord, we feel the witnessing of the Spirit which assures us and testifies to us that we are children of God.

We possess God’s life and nature, and we are Godkind. This needs to become real to us in our daily Christian life. We ned to remember this and even remind ourselves that we are God-men, part of Godkind.

Wherever we are, whatever we do, we need to remember that we are God-men who have the divine right to participate in God’s divinity.

When we exercise our spirit and pray this to the Lord, we will be full of appreciation for what He has done for us and for what He is doing for us!

For human beings to become children of God is for man to have the divine life and nature through being born of God.

We are born of God, we have His life and nature, and we are now part of the species of God.

May we pray this to the Lord and ask Him to make this real to us in our Christian life so that we may live the life of a God-man today!

Lord Jesus, thank You for giving us the divine right to be Godkind, God’s species! Wow, we human beings have the right to be called children of God who are born of God through faith in Jesus Christ! Amen, Lord Jesus, we believe into You. We believe that You are the Son of God. We believe that we are children of God who are born of God! Hallelujah, we are not only men who are born of our human parents but we are also part of God’s species, for we are born of God! Praise the Lord, the Spirit Himself witnesses with our spirit that we are children of God! And we are! Amen, Lord, we are children of God having the divine right to participate in God’s divinity! Remind us that we are God-men and that we have the divine right to enjoy God, experience God, and express God! Amen!

See the Diamond in the Bible and let God Build Himself in Christ into us for God’s Building, the Church

In the Bible there is a diamond, quite a big diamond, which is very precious and wonderful.

Many people read the Bible and enjoy reading it, but they may not see the diamond in the box of the Bible. Many people read the Bible and pay attention to so many things, including things that match their concept, preference, desire, and thought.

But who reads the Bible and sees the diamond in the Bible? If we do not pay attention to the crucial point in the Bible, if we don’t pay attention to the diamond in the Bible, the Bible will be an empty book to us.

This means that, even though the Bible is real in itself, in our understanding of the Bible, this book is empty.

The content of the Bible, the main vision in the Bible, and the diamond in the Bible is that in Christ God became man to make man God in life and in nature but not in the Godhead.

The Old Testament prophecies concerning this and the New Testament show us how this happened and how this takes place.

May we no longer be like little children playing with the “box” of the Bible yet neglecting the “diamond” in the Bible.

May we have a deeper appreciation of the diamond in the Bible and allow the Lord to impress us with this central vision in God’s word.

Thank Him for His mercy to show us that the diamond in the Bible is the revelation that in Christ God has become man in order that man might become God in life and in nature but not in the Godhead.

This is not too much for us to say, for this is what the Bible shows us from Genesis to Revelation. In Genesis we see the Triune God and in Revelation we see the New Jerusalem, God and man being fully one.

How can God make man the same as He is in life and nature but not in the Godhead? The secret is God’s work of building; God is building Himself in Christ into our humanity.

In the Old Testament we see David, a man according to God’s heart, who had a desire to build a house for God. Before he could build a house for God, however, God had to build a house for him, that is, God had to build Himself into David.

Before we can build something for God, before we can cooperate with God to build up the church as the Body of Christ, we need God to build Himself in Christ into our humanity.

It is not us who build or do something for God; it is God building Himself in Christ into our humanity that produces something suitable for God’s building.

On His side, God in Christ became a man and went through the processes of incarnation, human living, death, resurrection, and ascension. In His resurrection, this man (who was also God) was designated the firstborn Son of God (Rom. 1:3-4; 8:29).

Wow, a man was designated something divine, that is, a man was brought into God.

Even more, in and through His resurrection, Christ became a life-giving Spirit to dispense what He is into our being (1 Cor. 15:45b).

Now the firstborn Son of God is gaining many sons of God by dispensing Himself as the life-giving Spirit into us to regenerate us and make us children of God!

God does everything, and we simply cooperate. He went through a process to become a life-giving Spirit, and now He comes as the Spirit to dispense Himself into us and to build Himself in Christ into our humanity for God to gain His building, the church as the Body of Christ.

When we opened to the Lord as we heard the gospel, when we repented and called on the name of the Lord to be saved, God in Christ as the life-giving Spirit dispensed Himself into our being to become part of our inner constitution.

He made us a God-man just like Him. Now we believers in Christ are God-men, the duplication and reproduction of the first God-man, Christ.

He was God becoming man, and we are man becoming God in life and in nature but not in the Godhead. Hallelujah!

Just as He went through a process to become a man and then become a life-giving Spirit, so we are passing through a process today to become God in life and nature but not in the Godhead. Wow!

One key verse showing us what kind of work God is doing in us is Ephesians 3:17, where we see that Christ is doing a work of building Himself into us to produce a mutual abode.

Christ is not only joined to us as one spirit (1 Cor. 6:17) but even more, He wants to make His home in our heart. He is building His home in us, making His home deep down in our heart.

We simply need to open to His work of building Himself into our humanity.

He wants to obtain the mutual abode revealed in John 14:23; we love the Lord, we keep His word, and the Father loves us and comes with the Son to make an abode with us.

This is an abode for the Triune God and for us; it is the mutual abode of God and man.

As we just love the Lord, open to Him, read and pray over His word, and allow Him to make His home in our heart, God builds Himself in Christ into our being, into our intrinsic constitution.

This is how He builds His church, by building Himself in Christ into our being, into our very humanity (Matt. 16:18).

He does this by first coming into our spirit to regenerate us; then, as we open to Him, He spreads from our spirit into our mind, emotion, and will to saturate and occupy our entire soul. In this way, we become the church, the house of God, the mutual dwelling place of God and man.

We may love the Lord and desire to do something for Him, and we may want to “help God” to build up the church; before we do anything for God, we need to let God build Himself in Christ into us to be our life, our nature, and our essence.

Little by little, day by day, God is building Himself in Christ into our being as we have many transactions with Him, intimate conversations, prayers of opening, and times with Him in the word.

As we simply say Amen to His word, He builds Himself into us a little more.

Eventually, we will be constituted with the Triune God, and for eternity, we will be the New Jerusalem, the mutual abode of God and man, where God is in man and man is in God! Praise the Lord!

Lord Jesus, thank You for coming into us as the life-giving Spirit to regenerate us and dispense the divine life of God into us. Amen, Lord, we open to You. We open to Your inner building work. Build Yourself in Christ into our humanity to produce and gain the mutual abode of God and man. We stop our doing and our striving; we just open to You! Hallelujah, there is no need for us to build anything for God but rather, we should simply open to God to build Himself in Christ into our intrinsic constitution! Amen, Lord, we open! Grant us to open a little more today. Dispense Yourself into the inward parts of our being. Spread from our spirit into our mind, emotion, and will. We love You, Lord, and we open to You; come in and make an abode with us. Make Your home in our heart. We turn our heart to You. Build Your habitation in our heart by spreading into our mind, emotion, and will to saturate our inward being with Yourself. Lord Jesus, gain Your dwelling place in us and among us – gain the New Jerusalem, the dwelling place of God and man, God mingled with man! Amen!
