In our organic union with Christ, all that Christ passed through has become our history; we have been grafted into Christ, we are organically joined to Him, and in this organic union all our negative elements are discharged and our God-created faculties are uplifted, enriched, and saturated so that we may be transformed. Praise the […]
We’re Growing Together with Christ in the Likeness of His Death and Resurrection
If we believers in Christ have grown together with Christ in the likeness of His death, indeed we will also be in the likeness of His resurrection; through baptism, a great change took place in us, for the Spirit caused the growth of Christ in us, and now we grow together with Him in the […]

The New Testament reveals that Christ is deeply related to our inner being and desires to have a subjective relationship with us; in Gal. 1:15-16 in particular, we see that it pleased God to reveal His Son in Paul and also in us – it pleases God to reveal His Son in us! Amen! This […]
Deal with our Heart to have a Soft Heart and a Pure Heart for the Lord to Grow in us
