Helping the body of Christ to grow Spiritually
The Christian occupies a totally unique position
The Christian is called to the highest rank, that is- the Christian occupies a totally unique position in the hierarchy of the universe. Created originally in the image of God, redeemed humanity has been elevated by means of a divinely conceived genetic process known as the new birth to the highest rank of all created beings.
The redeemed is an extension of the Godhead.
We read in 1Cor 6:17 "He that is joined to the Lord is one spirit" This union goes beyond a mere formal, functional, or idealistic religion. It is an organic relationship of personalities.
Through he new birth we become bona fide members of the original cosmic family see Ephesians Ch3:15
It is based on Biblical Truth -
A) Actual generated sons of God see (1John 3:2)
B) Partakers of the divine nature" see (2Peter 1:4)
In Scripture we learn that true religion is a relationship in which man stands to God.
A relationship in which man is conscious of the absolute majesty and infinite power of God and of mans own utter insignificance and absolute helplessness and hopelessness to live a life outside these bounds
Man who does not acknowledge God as creator and Sovereign over all things, sets about establishing his own righteousness.
The twofold sphere of true spiritual growth in the Christian
Believers are urged to “keep on growing in grace” -
“in knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ,”
