Vois - Further Knowing

Let me explain further what is meant by knowing Christ. It means knowing Christ in things and affairs. What can this denote? It denotes Christ as your thing and affairs. Some are able to say they know Christ as their patience. This is reckoned as knowing Christ. Other may know Christ as their love; still other know Christ as their humility. Such knowledge will effect a drastic change in life. Henceforth you are able to say that there is no thing in your life. I trust some of you can make this statement, for your spiritual world, there is nothing but Christ. For instance, you have no holiness. Immediately you comprehend that Christ is all. Hereafter you may be completely delivered from these outward matters. The whole approach is a matter of knowing Christ, not a matter of prayer or exhortation or encouragement.

I wish all servants of the Lord would take note of this fact: that it is neither exhortation nor encouraging people, you can only stir them to self-action. BUT when GOD opens their eyes, they will know Christ; this alone is effective. Words such as these may be repeated for a hundred times without any result, until God opens our eyes to see that Christ is what we really seek. Many people know Him as the Lord who justifies them nevertheless they are afraid of God because they do not know Christ as their righteousness. Many know the Lord as their sanctifier, they will ask Him to give them strength to be holy. As they proceed on this course, though, they soon discover their inability to be holy. Only after God opens their eyes and gives them light to see that Christ is the holiness - and not their desire for holiness nor God's granting them power to be holy - is difficulty surmounted, for Christ has then become holiness IN THEM. Let me tell you that we may loose power by we can never lose Christ. Our holiness rests not on what we do but on what He is to us. When we know Him as all, all our problems are solved. I therefore have no other message than this: Christ is all.

Here is the trouble: I know many people who know Christ as the Lord but do not know Him as their things and affairs. If we only perceive Christ as "er" and not as "tion" we only know HIS acts but not own self. We may know Him as redeemer, sanctifier, and justifier, yet God wants us to know HIM as redemption, sanctification, and justification.

Do you know the Lord Jesus as your savior, or as your salvation? your redeemer or your redemption? your liberator or your liberation? your sanctifier or your sanctification? your justifier or your justification? To know him as "er" is primary knowledge;' to know him as "tion" is further and deeper knowledge.

Today there are too many things in the lives of God's children. All shall be well if one day we know that "HE IS", and that thus all things have turned to be ONE Person. God's eternal purpose is hereby realized.

As long as our sanctification, redemption, regeneration, power, grace and gift remains as objects, we are still standing on the borderline of Christianity. But when we see these things as but the Lord himself, we begin to know God and enter into God's eternal purpose. Here after it is always He, never things.

It is because of this that things people have are dead. Once they realize this, their things, will take up personality and turn out to be Christ. For my regeneration is not a thing; it has Personality. Christ who I have is a person, not a thing. All that I have has personality because the Lord is all. One day He led me to know HIM, now he further leads me into knowing Him as everything to me. Thus am I delivered out of my own life as well as out of the things of the spiritual world. Hereafter I can truly say that the Lord is all and in all. I can testify that in my daily living He is all. If today I am patient, it is not I but He who lives in me who is patient. If today I love, it is not because I try my best to love, for the power of love is not in me; but it is because there is ONE who loves in me. If today I forgive, it is not due to my generosity or effort or ability, it instead is purely due to the ONE who lives in me and always forgives. Indeed, He is my forgiveness. If today I am humble, this does not happen because I remind myself how proud I am and that therefore I need to be humble. My humility does not come through suppressing my pride or through determining to be humble; it is the Person in me who so Humbles. So HE is humility, I therefore am humble. This is called the LAW OF LIFE. What is the law of life? It is none other than Christ becoming our life as well as things.

Consequently, I wish us all to ask God to open our eyes that we may actually see that sooner than later all things pass away but that what remains will be Christ. Therefore let Christ be all today.
