Spiritual Integrated Insight (Key Points)
- The creation of the new man is God’s
work in Christ to produce a new humanity in life and nature.
- The building of the church is God’s
work to join these regenerated people together into one corporate Body.
- The new man is
the content, and the building is
the expression.
- Without
the
new man, the building has no reality; without the building, the new man has
no
visible testimony.
🗣️ One Prophetic Sentence
God is creating
one new man in Christ inwardly and building this new man outwardly into the church as His
dwelling place.
🏁 Ultimate Conclusion
The creation of the new man solves the problem of what kind of people we are,
and the building of the church solves the problem of how we are joined together.
Both are indispensable aspects of God’s eternal purpose.
