If we want to have the proper understanding of the Sabbath rest in Hebrews, we need to know the significance of the first mention of the Sabbath rest in the Bible: God created all things including man in six days, and on the seventh day He rested; man’s first day was a rest day, a […]
Worship God in Spirit with Christ as the Reality, Offering Christ to God for His Satisfaction
We need to labor on the all-inclusive Christ in order to have a surplus of Christ to bring to the church meetings both for our enjoyment corporately and for the corporate worship of God our Father; we worship God in spirit and truthfulness, that is, in our spirit and with the Christ we have experienced […]
The Principle of the Sabbath is that we First Enjoy God and Rest in Him, then we Work
