Being in the Triune God and having Christ Living in us to be Perfected into one
As we are sanctified through the truth, we move out of ourselves and into the Triune God, Christ lives in us, and we are perfected into one to be in the enlarged oneness of the Triune God. There is so much division both in the world and in Christianity today, and the main reason is […]
