The Deep Things of God

In the beginning, the Lord God formed man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life and the man became a living soul. This breath of the living soul was breathed out by Christ at His death on the Cross and again after the resurrection, He breathed on the disciples the Spirit of God, saying, "Receive the Holy Spirit," thereby enabling man the transition from the first man Adam into the second man Christ. At the death of Christ, the old covenant along with the external and natural ways of relating with God was nailed to the Cross, bringing forth in His resurrection, the New Covenant life, the body of resurrection, known as the body of Christ, where all those united to Christ in the spirit become one with Him. God wants the entire mankind to live in and by the New Covenant which is the reality or substance of the person of Christ as the indwelling life within us since this is the eternal plan, purpose and will of God.

The Bible thus presents two realms, one of death and the other of life, through the old and the New Covenant, with two different types of relationships. God did not improve or modify the first man Adam on the Cross but crucified Adam in Christ and this is known as the judgement where Adam has been separated from Christ. This reality has to be inworked within the soul of every human being, for the transition from the natural and the earthly into the heavenly and the spiritual and thus from the living soul Adam to the life-giving Spirit Christ.

This book unfolds the truth that Christianity is neither a religion nor an organisation but a true Christian is characterised by the resurrected life of Christ dwelling within him. This realisation enables him to produce the fruit, which is the increase of Christ and thereby achieve the harvest of a people living by the life of Christ. In this way, true salvation, defined as the fullness of Christ in the human soul becomes a reality, proclaiming to the world that the evidence of salvation is, "It is not I who live but Christ who lives in me."
