Let Us Enjoy and Express the Triune God Today

Paul wrote about “my earnest expectation and hope that in nothing I will be put to shame, but with all boldness, as always, even now Christ will be magnified in my body…for to me, to live is Christ.” (Phil. 1:20-21) He lived Christ and expressed Christ as fully as any one believer could.

New JerusalemPaul accomplished this through the petition of many others and through “the bountiful supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ” (Phil. 1:19). To receive the flow of the Spirit, to live Christ, and to magnify Christ is a believer’s experience of New Jerusalem in this age.

However, this precursor of New Jerusalem is not individualistic because it involves the petitions of many others. New Jerusalem is the fullest and ultimate expansion of the Body of Christ. Let us together enjoy a miniature of New Jerusalem today!

We should be those who are being constituted with the Triune God, existing with the Triune God, and living with the Triune God. Every day we need to enjoy the Triune God, and spontaneously we then express the Triune God. This should be our present experience, and this will be our future destiny in eternity. The book of Revelation ends with a promise and a call. Revelation 22:14 promises that those who wash their robes have right to the tree of life. In 22:17 there is a call from the Spirit and the bride to drink the water of life…. We are enjoying the Triune God in such a way and calling others to participate in the same kind of enjoyment.*
