Look at it like building a model airplane. There are certain steps, directions, a certain order, a continuous plan that if followed precisely (while looking at the full picture of it) the full model is built accurately and efficiently. But, take that picture away and those directions then try doing step number 5 before step number 1, step number 8 before step number 3, and what you have is an incomplete replica of the picture on the box, or something not even close to the picture. Not to mention all the frustration and misunderstanding that went along with trying to build that thing without a map of the process and an image of the airplane. You see, there is a specific plan of redemption, something the Father had in mind before the foundation of the world, before the beginning of time. I like to refer to it as the "Curriculum of Christ", that mold or pattern of teaching into which we were placed. He is not a God of chaos or conflict, but one of perfect structure and harmony. When you place yourself in this system, this pattern, you get a fine-tuned picture, a fuller grasp; a more complete model of all God is and has intended for you, since you believe in His Son, The Lord Jesus Christ! This is the knowledge that will definitely make a difference in your life and those you come into contact with! This is the difference between learning the alphabet and learning the Language. This is the difference between the sides of the stream and the middle of the stream! This is where the stream turns into a flowing river! (John 7:38) Glory be to God who always leads us in a triumphal procession in Christ. Christ the first-born and design of God, now us individually, then collectively, as a whole functinal, flowing body, His church. This, my Friends is total Soul Salvation, nothing less than all of what God wants. Living to please Him in all we do as we are becoming more transformed by Him everyday. Hourly as we spend time listening to Him speak to us, from the inside out. That is how the true Gospel works in its entirety. Nothing in part. Nothing segmented. Nothing fragmented. Ever meditating, looking within to see Christ who is in us. As we continue to behold Him within we are changed into Him. We become reflectors of His glory and bring Him out through us into this world. The continuing process of Soul Salvation which starts within and flows from spirit to soul to body. Like I've been saying all along, it's simple. it's plain. It's not difficult to grasp. It is the pattern of Christ in us. Allowing the Spirit of Truth to lead us and guide us we see this image of Christ in us. Meditation on this fact brings Him into our soul and as we continue to reflect upon Him we are ever changed by degrees into His image and likeness. This is the original intention of God. |
