When Jesus told Peter, “I will build my church,” did He have in mind a more perfect religion, one to rival existing religions in the world, or did He have in mind something of a higher spiritual nature? Distinction must clearly be made between religion and Christianity, as well as between the Old Covenant (Testament) in Moses and the New Covenant in Christ. The concept of life must be looked at from a spiritual perspective.

It is an undeniable Biblical fact that the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of Christ, dwells in the believer

individually and in the Church collectively. Yet it seems the reality of this true miracle escapes

us. Not only must we come into this realization now, and allow it to impact our lives today, but

to anticipate the Holy Spirit as an eternal habitation.

Man often looks at salvation through a very narrow window, where all he can see is heaven and eternal life—which falls infinitesimally short of God’s plan and purpose in His Son Jesus Christ.

In this age Jesus is the Head of His Church, the Body of Christ; and in the age to come this

Church will become His bride to sit with Him on His throne.

Relationship and fellowship are distinct from one another. One may have a

relationship but no fellowship and another may have fellowship without a relationship.

Fullness of life is when we have both a true relationship and fellowship with God and

with one another.

The believers salvation, calling, and inheritance in Christ is intertwined with, and

inseparable from the grace, the purpose, and the inheritance of God; The Father will

have a family of many sons and daughters, the Son will have a Church to become His

Bride, and the Holy Spirit will have an eternal dwelling pace.

It is essential to lay the first foundation stone with precision and accuracy, without

which error is distributed throughout the whole building. Regarding the salvation of

mankind we cannot rely on the judgments and estimates of man, but must seek the

undeniable and verifiable truth revealed in the Word of God.

If one is given a bow and arrow and a target with a bull’s eye, a purpose is logically

defined—aim, shoot, and hit the bull’s eye. To shoot arrows randomly is without

purpose and certainly without reward. The Father has a divine purpose for Himself

and mankind, and man may randomly seek one way or another, but to hit the mark is

the ultimate in God’s plan and purpose.
