Why did God create man? Why is man so special, among all other creatures and animals? Why does the Bible say that man has God’s image and likeness? There must be a purpose in God for which He created man. Was it just because “God is lonely and wants someone to fellowship with Him”? Or […]
Christ Makes His Home in our Heart until We are Filled unto All the Fullness of God
When someone believes into the Lord Jesus, Christ comes into his spirit to regenerate him with the divine life. This is the beginning of the Christian life. God is Spirit, and when we open to Him we receive Him as Spirit into our spirit. But God wants to spread into all the parts of our […]
We Grow in Life by Dealing with Our Heart so that Christ may Spread in Us
When we hear God’s word and our heart is turned to Him, something is implanted into us – Christ as life comes into us, and we exercise our spirit to receive Him. We receive Christ in our spirit, since our spirit is the organ created by God for us to contact Him and receive Him […]

What does it mean to love the Lord with the first love? What does it mean to give the Lord the preeminence in all things? What does it mean to give the Lord the first place? When we first see the Lord and are captured by His beauty, we love Him with the first love. […]
the desire of God’s heart is set on Zion with Christ – will you be an overcomer?
The key to becoming an overcomer is to give the Lord the preeminence, the first and best love! Loving the Lord, eating the Lord, and being His testimony (see Rev. 2) go together – this is the key to being an overcomer!
