Title: The Church Not One with Christ Jesus
Contents
It has one head, but the body is tetrameric. This body is what we call a body. It is also like a vine with one stem but many branches attached to it.
Therefore, the head and body are one, and the stem and branches are also one. Therefore, he said that he who is united with the Lord is one spirit.
Where there is death of the head, there is also the body. If the head is dead, the body is also dead. Christ is the head of the church, and the church is the body of Christ.
Therefore, He said, “As Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of Man be lifted up” (John 3:14), and “When I am lifted up from the earth, I will draw all men to Me.” to show that he would die” (John 12:32-33).
Snakes cannot live when lifted off the ground. The Bible calls the old man Satan, the old serpent. Therefore, as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of Man be lifted up from the ground on a tree. It is written, “Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us, for it is written, Cursed is everyone that hangs on a tree” (Galatians 3:13).
What we know here is that when a snake hangs on a tree, its body also hangs and dies, and when a man hangs on a tree, that is, a cross, its head and body hang and die.
Therefore, if the church is his body, there will be death with him. If with him the old man has not been crucified, the church is the undead old serpent, the synagogue of Satan.
The Bible calls the Jewish congregation the wilderness church. As it is written, “This is the one who was in the church in the wilderness with the angel who spoke on Mount Sinai and our ancestors, and who received the way of life and gave it to us” (Acts 7:38). Therefore, it is also written, “Behold, I will give you some of the synagogue of Satan, who claim to be Jews, but are not, but lie, that they may come and bow down at your feet, and that they may know that I love you” (Revelation 3:9) will be
It is liars that those who are not united to his death because it is not attached to the head gather to call it his body, which is the church. This is what the Lord said, “You are of your father the devil, and you want to do the desires of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning, and cannot stand in the truth because there is no truth in him. Whenever he speaks a lie, he speaks of his own. for he is a liar and the father of lies” (John 8:44).
Therefore, the church that is not united in the image of his death must have greed, hate one another, murder, and do not stand in the truth, and whenever they tell a lie, they speak as their own.
Concerned about this, the Bible says, “If anyone goes and preaches another Jesus whom we have not preached, or if you receive a different spirit from which you did not receive, or if you receive a different gospel from which you did not receive, you tolerate well” (2 Corinthians 11). :4) is concerned.
Therefore, the Bible says, “Do you not know that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? Therefore, through baptism into his death, we were buried with him, through the glory of the Father. As Christ was raised from the dead, so we too may walk in newness of life” (Romans 6:3-4).
Will we be able to see the church, his body, when he lays down the headstone today? is very concerned. As it is written, “If we have become united by his death, we will also become united by his resurrection” (Romans 6:5). .
This is because the bride of the Lamb is being prepared in heaven. As it is written, “And I saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband” (Revelation 21:2). Those who are not in the flesh but are united with the Lord in spirit are the bride of the Lamb.
For as he is not of the world, so he is also not of the world. It is written, “I have given them your word, and the world hateth them, because they are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. I pray not to take them out of the world, but It is to keep them from falling into evil. They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world” (John 17:14-16).
Therefore, the church that is not one with Christ Jesus is a blatant lie. This is because we did not stand by the truth, but by the doctrine. It is written, “Let no one deprive you of your reward on purpose because of humility and worship of angels, for he trusts in what he has seen, and exaggerates and does not hold on to the head in vain after the mind of the flesh. It is the same as saying, “It is supplied by sinews, and it is united in unity, so that it increases by God’s increase” (Colossians 2:18-19).
Therefore, in a false church, there must be deliberate humility and worship of angels of those who claim it. Regarding this, the Bible says, "It is not strange that Satan also disguises himself as an angel of light. Therefore, it is not a great thing for Satan's servants to disguise themselves as servants of righteousness, but in the end they will be according to their deeds" (2 Cor. 11:14-15) testifies.
Therefore, the Lord is a Spirit, and his body, the church, is not in the flesh, but in the spirit. Therefore, where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. This is the freedom that exists only in those who strive to keep the unity of the Holy Spirit. Thank you Lord.
