Spiritual Life Process of the Whole Bible
Exodus 3:14 Then God said
to Moses, “I am the one who is,” and “Say this to the Israelites: ‘I am the one
who sent me to you.’”
Hebrews 11:1 Now faith is
the confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.
Hebrews 11:6 Without
faith it is impossible to please God, because
anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those
who earnestly seek him.
Luke 9:23 Then Jesus said
to the crowds, “If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up
his cross daily and follow me.”
Luke 9:24 For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will save it.

Integrated Insight (Key Points)
The whole Bible reveals a spiritual line of life and building:
Faith that
God is
→ Denying the self
→ The cross
→ Christ lived out
→ God’s building
Faith
resolves our relationship with God.
The cross
deals with our old man.
Christ
becomes our life.
Life
ultimately brings forth God’s building.
Therefore, the central revelation of the Bible is not merely salvation, but:
Christ
living out from within man to produce God’s corporate dwelling.
When man
believes that God is and denies the self,
passing through the cross, Christ is lived out from within him, ultimately
bringing forth God’s eternal building.
⭐ Ultimate
Conclusion
The living
out of Christ → the building of the church → the New Jerusalem.
In other words:
Faith that
God is resolves the source;
the cross
deals with the old man;
Christ lived
out brings forth God’s eternal building.
