God's Will, Purpose, Economy, Plan, Redemption, and Salvation:
- God's Will: To dispense
Himself into man, making man the same as
Him in life and nature
- Example:
Believers being conformed to the image of God's
Son
- Scriptures:
- Rom 8:29
"For those whom He foreknew, He
also predestined to become conformed to the
image of His Son, so that He would be the
firstborn among many brethren"
- Eph 1:5
"He predestined us to adoption as sons through Jesus Christ to
Himself, according to the kind intention of His
will"
- God's Purpose: To make man His expression, manifesting His glory
- Example: The church as the Body of Christ expressing God
- Scriptures:
- Eph 3:10-11
"so that the manifold wisdom of God might
now be made known through the church to the rulers and the
authorities in the heavenly places. This
was in accordance with the eternal purpose which He carried out in Christ Jesus our Lord"
- Col 1:27
"to whom God willed to make known what is
the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles, which
is Christ in you, the hope of glory."
- God's Economy: To dispense the riches of Christ into believers,
constituting the Body of Christ
- Example: Believers
being built up to become God's dwelling place
- Scriptures:
- Eph 3:8-9
"To me, the very least of all saints, this
grace was given, to preach to the Gentiles the unfathomable riches of
Christ, and to bring to light what is
the administration of the mystery which for ages has been hidden
in God who created all things"
- 1 Tim 1:4
"nor to pay attention to myths and endless genealogies, which give
rise to mere speculation rather than furthering
the administration of God which is by faith."
- God's Plan: To complete
salvation through incarnation, crucifixion,
and resurrection to become the life-giving Spirit
- Example: The entire process of Christ's incarnation, death,
and resurrection
- Scriptures:
- John 1:14
"And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us, and we
saw His glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father, full of
grace and truth."
- 1 Cor 15:45
"So also it is written, 'The first man, Adam, became a living
soul.' The last Adam became a life-giving
spirit."
- God's Redemption: Judicially satisfying God's righteous requirements,
organically imparting God's life to man
- Example: Justification by faith and reigning in life
- Scriptures:
- Rom 3:24
"being justified as a gift by His grace
through the redemption which is in Christ Jesus"
- Rom 5:17
"For if by the transgression of the one, death reigned through the
one, much more those who receive the abundance
of grace and of the gift of righteousness will reign in life through the
One, Jesus Christ."
- God's Salvation: Causing believers to grow in God's life, mature, and ultimately be built up as the New Jerusalem
- Example:
Believers growing in life, becoming God's
dwelling place
- Scriptures:
- 1 Pet 2:2
"like newborn babies, long for the pure
milk of the word, so that by it you may
grow in respect to salvation"
- Rev 21:2-3
"And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem,
coming down out of heaven from God, made ready as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a
loud voice from the throne, saying, 'Behold,
the tabernacle of God is among men, and He
will dwell among them, and they shall be
His people, and God Himself will be
among them'"
Conclusion: The compound anointing oil typifies the life-giving Spirit, which contains all the elements and effectiveness of Christ's death and
resurrection. Through this Spirit, God dispenses
Himself into believers, fulfilling His will, purpose, economy, plan,
redemption, and salvation, joining, blending, and incorporating man with God,
ultimately to become God's full expression.
