I want to say this out loudly - The leaders in Christianity today need at least a slap in face so to be awakened to realize God’s economy. God does not want a religion and a religious people. Read the post if you are interested to know why.
Must Go here for PART 1 before reading this part.
God's dispensation which is through the revelation concerning the Triune God in the holy Word is not for doctrinal understanding but for His redeemed people to experience and enjoy Him. Yes, we can enjoy God.
The relationship which God desires is to have man and Him be grafted together and thus become one in an organic union. Never heard of this?? Go read Roman 6:3-5 and 1 Cor. 6:17. He created man for the purpose of entering into man to be one with man and to make man one with Him (Gen. 1:26; 2:7). Grafting is a good illustration for this matter. In grafting, two similar lives are joined and then both grow together organically. How is it possible?? This is because our human life was made in the image of God and according to the likeness of God, it can be joined to the divine life (Gen 1:26). And then in another hand Christ has to pass through the processes of incarnation, crucifixion and resurrection in order for us to be grafted into Him. (John 1:14, 1 Cor. 15:14b, 2 Cor. 3:17a. In the grafted life, the human life is not eliminated but is strengthened, uplifted and enriched by the divine life.
Therefore we need to believe into Christ which is also receiving Him as the divine life into us that we may have an organic union with Him in the divine life. (John 3:15, 15:4-5)
Through this union there will be God’s expression. God’s original intention is that man would receive His divine life and divine nature and thereby become God’s expression. (Gen. 1:26, 2:7-9). How do you tell?? Well easy. You see God created man in His image, and Christ is the image of the invisible God; therefore, man was created in the image of Christ. Hello…this is very obvious…for the expression. Furthermore God does not want just one expression, and that is why the matter of the church is brought in. The basic function of the church is to be the corporate expression of the Triune God in Christ. Church is the called out congregation who are being called out from the world by God. Here you also see a oneness which is the Body of Christ.
In this aspect of oneness, everyone’s self have been fully denied and is enjoying the glory of the Father as the factor of their perfected oneness and thus express God in a corporate, built-up way. Eventually, we will be brought into the divine glory, be glorified with Christ and bear the glory of God for God’s expression in the New Jerusalem.
I thank God that I can be shown to know God’s economy and I thank that I know how to live my everyday life in this world. I can live in this world for another purpose which has the eternal glory – New Jerusalem.
